Depth Cues
The depth cues are used to determine the depth relationship between the objects in the scene.
Many depth cues are used by the human visual system to disambiguate the position of objects in a 3D scene.
These cues are divided into two categories - physiological and psychological cues.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation is the change in the focal length of the lens of
the eye while it focuses on specific regions of the 3D scene. The
change in the thickness of the lens is due to a change in tension
from the ciliary muscle. The visual system uses the depth cue in
tandem with the convergence.
CONVERGENCE
Convergence is the inward rotation of the eye to converge on the
objects when they move closer to the observer.
BINOCULAR DISPARITY
Binocular disparity is the difference in the images projected on
the left and right eye retina while viewing a 3D scene. It is an
important depth cue used by the visual system to produce the
sensation of depth.
MOTION PARALLAX
This depth cue provides different views of a scene when the
scene or the viewer is moved.
Physiological Cues Psychological Cues
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
The linear perspective refers to the change in the size of the image
of the object on the retina in inverse proportion to the object's
change in distance. When the object moves away from the
observer, the image becomes smaller. This effect is called
perspective foreshortening.
SHADING AND SHADOWING
The amount of light illuminating a surface is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance from the light source to the surface.
For this reason, the objects that are away from the light source are
darker and this gives cues of both depth and shape. The shadows
cast by one object on the other also gives cues of relative position
and size.
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE
The objects, which are at a distance, tend to be less distinct. Since
blue has a shorter wavelength, it penetrates the atmosphere more
easily than other colors. Due to this, distant objects appear bluish
in color.

Key Industry Drivers/Challenges
The main drivers of 3D imaging have been the
incursion of this technology in multiple segments and
industries and the use of 3D in medical imaging.
The major challenge is that the 3D imaging market is
price sensitive.
