Abstract

Three experiments were carried out to investigate the hypothesis that the impression of visual depth given by gradient patterns is due to the operation of a principle of "perceptual economy". The results suggest that the impression of visual depth given by a pattern represents a compromise between the economy gained from making a tridimensional specification of the elements in the pattern and the possible cost of making an error in coding the information in this way.
