Monocular depth cues, such as relative size, interposition, and linear perspective, depend on the mental assumptions that humans make about our environments. These assumptions include the idea that nearby objects are larger and that distant objects are smaller, as well as the fact that objects that overlap or block one another must have different locations in space. These mental assumptions help us to perceive depth and distance even when we are only viewing a two-dimensional image.
