Judging distance across texture discontinuities.
Sinai et al (1998 Nature 395 497-500) showed that less distance is perceived along a ground surface that spans two differently textured regions than along a surface that is uniformly textured. We examined the effect of texture continuity on judged distance using computer-generated displays of simulated surfaces in five experiments. Discontinuities were produced by using different textures, the ...
متن کاملDistance perception across spatial discontinuities
Our previous studies in depth perception (Meng & Sedgwick, 2001) have supported a surface representation of 3-D layout. In such a representation, space is defined by surfaces, and distance is specified along those surfaces rather than through empty space (Alhazen, 1989, p. 155; Gibson, 1950, p. 6; Sinai, Ooi, & He, 1998; reviewed in Sedgwick, 2001). There is increasing evidence that visible sur...
متن کاملJudging distance from ocular convergence
Subjects misjudge distances considerably when forced to rely on extra-retinal information. Nevertheless, they can reproducibly set a target to the same distance as a reference, or to double or half that distance, even when they have to look back and forth between them because they are prevented from seeing one when looking at the other. Our explanation for this apparent discrepancy is that peop...
متن کاملJudging relative positions across saccades
When components of a shape are presented asynchronously during smooth pursuit, the retinal image determines the perceived shape, as if the parts belong to the moving object that the eyes are pursuing. Saccades normally shift our gaze between structures of interest, so there is no reason to expect anything to have moved with the eyes. We therefore decided to examine how people judge the separati...
متن کاملJudging an unfamiliar object's distance from its retinal image size.
How do we know how far an object is? If an object's size is known, its retinal image size can be used to judge its distance. To some extent, the retinal image size of an unfamiliar object can also be used to judge its distance, because some object sizes are more likely than others. To examine whether assumptions about object size are used to judge distance, we had subjects indicate the distance...
