![]() ![]() The colors (brown, green) and the shapes of the ground and the trees are easily visible in t he foreground of the picture. As seen in the pictures above, there are many hills, trees, and objects littered throughout the landscape that have distinct shapes and colors. ![]() During the winter months, I go on many ski trips to various places such as Stowe, Vermont, with either friends or family and the landscape there is one of the best for observing aerial perspective. Most people probably utilize aerial perspective every day when driving or walking around without even knowing it.Īerial perspective is most easily noticed by observing natural landforms like mountains. Aerial perspective is a monocular cue that is used for depth perception. The effect is due to the atmosphere which causes far away objects to appear “hazy” and unclear to the human eye. Aerial perspective is defined as objects at distances that are blurred, less detailed, and lighter in color than when they are nearby. There are many aspects of perceptual organization, but I wanted to explain one in more detail. The eighth lecture was primarily focused on perception and how we interpret the things around us using visual cues.

This cue, along with the others, is very interesting and explained even the simplest of ideas. Because of the greater distance between my eyes and the ground, it takes longer for those objects to pass. Because the plane is so high up and far away from the land, it seems to take so much longer for the land to pass, other than the objects that I can see much better up close in the window. However, the motion parallax concept has made it easier to understand this idea. I always wondered how this could be possible since planes travel at such high speeds, for long periods of time. While on the other hand, when I looked down, it seems to take a city or part of the ocean a few minutes to completely pass below the plane. The clouds and air right outside the window seemed to pass by in a matter of seconds. I have taken airplanes a fair amount of times and this concept has always been so confusing until we had this lesson and learned about motion parallax. This sparked my thoughts and confusion when I am traveling in an airplane. The example we learned in class is when you are taking the train and the trees close to the tracks and window move very fast, whereas the horizon and other distant objects seem to be passing by very slowly. This concept is when objects that are far away seem to move much slower than the objects closer to your eyes. When learning lecture eight and the different types of perceptual organizations, one of the monocular cues that stood out to me was the concept of motion parallax. ![]()
