This picture requires the use of monocular cues to perceive the depth in the picture.
Monocular cues are also known as pictorial depth cues. Monocular cues of depth perception
allow people to perceive certain objects to appear more distant than others. There are mainly
five monocular cues that are identified in the picture.

❖ PERSPECTIVE: In the picture at the bottom, we know that all the block tiles are relatively
the same size. But as we look at the block tiles to the left corner, it seems to be pretty
small.
❖ CLEARNESS: The clearness of the trees in the picture helps us in telling how far away it
might be less detailed as opposed to a building on the right side of the picture.
❖ OVERLAPPING: The monocular cues that say if any object blocks the view of another
object, then the object being blocked is assumed to be behind the object that is
blocking. In this particular picture, the pillars block the view of other pillars.
❖ TEXTURE GRADIENT: The monocular cues that say the closer object is perceived as having
a more varied texture than the objects that are farther away. In the above picture, the
block tiles look clear. This particular part is considered to be nearer to the viewer. The
trees in the picture in the background look blurry, this part of the picture is considered
to be farther from the viewer.
❖ SHADOW: The building/campus to the left in the above picture that contains shadow
and highlights is an illustration of the shadow.
