Linear perspective is a monocular cue to depth that utilizes:
A)the apparent convergence of parallel lines to judge relative distance
B)overlap among various objects to judge relative distance
C)differences in the perceived size of objects to judge relative distance
D)shadows cast by objects to judge relative distance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is the visual phenomenon where parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance. This cue is used to judge relative distance and depth in a scene. The closer the parallel lines in an image, the greater the perceived depth. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because overlap, perceived size, and shadows are not related to linear perspective.
