Part of depth-perception is the ability to perceive the distance of an object. There are a variety of things that we use to judge how far away an object is. Some of these cues can be processed by just one eye, which is why they are referred to as monocular cues.
The following are some of the most common monocular cues:
- Relative Size:
If two objects are roughly the same size, the object that looks the largest will be judged as being the closest to the observer.
- Texture Gradient:
When you are looking at an object that extends into the distance, such as a grassy field, the texture becomes less and less apparent the farther it goes into the distance.
- Motion Parallax:
As you are moving, objects that are closer seem to zoom by faster than do objects in the distance. When you are riding in a car for example, the nearby telephone poles rush by much faster than the trees in the distance.
- Aerial Perspective:
Objects that are farther away seem to be blurred or slightly hazy due to atmosphere.
- Linear Perspective:
Parallel lines appear to meet as they travel into the distance. For example, the outer edges of a road seem to grow closer and closer until they appear to meet. The closer together the two lines are, the greater the distance will seem.
- Overlap (or Interposition):
When one object overlaps another, the object that is partially obscured is perceived as being farther away.

What type of animals have monocular vision?
Any animal whose eyes are on the sides of its head, is considered to have monocular vision. They can't see directly in front of them. Humans aren't monocular - we are BINOCULAR. Other animals, such as fish, birds (except owl) , lizard, rabbit, horse, deer are MONOCULAR.
Do owls have good eyesight?
It really depends on the bird. Some have very good eyesight while others (like owls) have very poor sight and rely mostly on hearing
To go from cantering to gallopingmy horse must reurn to walking?
No you can cue the horse to enter the gallop straight from the canter.
How do you teach a horse to rear?
dont its dangerous if someone who rides it dont its dangerous if someone who rides it doesnt know what the cue to rear is. leave it to the pros
What is the differences between foreground contextual conditioning and background contextual conditioning?
Foreground contextual condtioning occurs when an emotionally salient event (such as a shock or some food) is presented in an environment (a context) with no discrete cues to predict it. In this case, the context is the most direct predictor of the salient event and conditioning to the context will be strong. Background contextual conditioning occurs when the same emotionally salient event is presented in a context but each event is predicted by a discete cue (for example, a tone that comes on for 10 seconds before the shock is delivered). The context is always "on" or there (in the "background")and gives no timing about when the shock will happen. The tone only appears when the shock is about to be delivered. In this case there are still pairings of the context and the shock and some conditioning will accrue to the context, however this will be less than would occur if the cue was not present. In this case, the tone cue is in the "foreground" and the rat will learn that the tone predicts the shock, and this learning will "block" learning about the context since the tone is a better predictor of the shock.
Is retinal disparity a monocular or binocular cue?
It is a binocular cue.
Is texture gradient a monocular cue?
Yes
Is motion parallax a monocular cue for depth perception?
Yes motion parallax is a monocular cue. Monocular means you could do it with one eye. Motion parallax involves images further away moving slower as you move sideways. All this information can be taken in with just one eye, so it is a monocular depth cue.
What is the monocular depth cue in which an object blocking another object is perceived as closer?
Interposition
Which depth cue accounts for why parallel lines appear to grow closer together the further away they are?
monocular constancy
What cue for depth perception that requires both eyes?
The binocular cue for perception of distance is linear perspective. It is the visual measure of which items are close to the viewer and which items are far away from them.
Is the frog vision monocular or binocular?
monocular
What is the suffix of monocular?
The suffix of monocular is -ar. This suffix means relating to.
Is convergence binocular or monocular?
Binocular, because animals can see monocular and humans can see binocular.
What is a one eyed binocular called?
it is called a spyglass It is also called a monocular.
What is the prefix for monocular?
mon
Do horses see binocular or monocular?
Horses can see 300 degrees around them. But i am not sure about binocular or monocular. Binocular. (Two)
