How to create 3D using 2D?
• Artists use the various depth cues to convey3D impression:– Size– Geometrical perspective– Shadow– Color– Sharpness– Patterns– Overlay (interposition)
However, they are intrinsically ambiguous, can be interpreted in many ways. We interpret with the most likely possibility.

Size
• Smaller objects are more distant, andcloser objects are larger.
• However– Movie producers use this to fool us: take a
close picture of miniature models to get anillusion of the distance objects or viceversa. “Honey, I shrunk the kids”
– Architects: using smaller window at higherfloors.

Shape constancyBoth rectangles produce the sameimage on the retina, but we cantell their orientation…

Linear perspective
• Parallel receding lines appear as if theyare coming together. (rail road tracks,light rays from the sun)
• In architecture– Narrower towards the top gives the
impression of a taller structure.• In art

Shadow
• Shadows are extremely important inproviding us the 3D impression.
• Light color appears closer to us andhence bigger.

Variations in Color
• Distant landscapes tend to lose their colorcontrasts. Colors get duller, less pure.
• A color print seems to have more depth thanthe identical picture printed in black and white,and shadows can be conveyed withoutvariation in brightness.
• Distant mountains appear blue due to theblueness of the intervening air.

Variations in Sharpness
• Distance objects appear fuzzier, lesssharply focused. Images are smaller inthe retina. (oil painting)
• Artists convey the feeling of depth by aloss of detail in distant objects.
36
Patterns• An abstract pattern may create the
feeling of depth.

Overlaying
• We perceive one object to be fartherthan another if the second object blocksour view of the first.
• However, the apparently more distantobject may in fact be closer but cut insuch a shape that it fully reveals theapparently closer (but actually farther)object.

Previous knowledge
• You interpret an image according to theprevious knowledge stored in your brain.An interpretation against commonexperience is suppressed.– Inside-out face (Disneyland)– Cube– Stairs

• The full moon is appears much largerwhen it is near the horizon than when itis high in the sky.
• Is this an atmospheric effect (refractiongoing through the atmosphere) orsimply an illusion?
