Document Summary
How to measure spatial frequency: basically spatial frequency is the number of contours in a specific area, spatial frequency = cycles/degree visual angle. One exam question on spatial frequency: binocular depth views a. Youre 30% more accurate if you have binocular: the closer the object is to your face, it will effect the c. perspective of your left and right eye. It replies on the fact that there is binocular disparity disparity means difference and as it turns oout, there isa difference between one and the other eye in terms of perspective. (also called retinal disparity. By the visual field making use of all the cues we already learned about. When we lok at a vidual angle, we take into account the distance: illusions based on misplaced size constancy. Ponzo illustions - the two mosnters that look like dif sizes but are actually the same size. this shows that the visual system is factoring in how far away things are.
