Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario involves the monocular depth cue of relative size, as the size of the taxis on the street appear smaller due to their distance from the viewer, giving the impression that they are tiny toy cars. Binocular depth cues require both eyes to work together, but in this scenario, only one eye (monocular) is needed to perceive the depth of the scene. Texture gradient is not relevant in this scenario.
