Figure 4.
Geometry of the pictorial scenes of Figure 1d. (a) Top view of the pictorial scene. Sizes and distances of objects are not to scale. Distances were computed for the traffic sign (rts36 and rts72r) and house (rh36 and rh72r) depicted in the two pictures. The viewer (curve at the left side) is looking at the pictures (yellow bar) from a distance rp. (b) Pictorial distances of traffic signs and houses that produce the same retinal images as their projections in the pictures. Distances are computed as function of rp. Thin lines mark the viewing distances at which the computed distances are equal to the physical distances (see Figure 2a). (c) Relative (green) and absolute (magenta) depth between the computed distances of traffic signs and houses as function of rp.
