Far Distance Perception

Perception, 1997
Determining how people perceive distance is a central issue in the study of visual perception. Whilst near-distance perception has been extensively researched, far-distance perception has received little attention. We review the literature and illustrate key points with new data, focusing on analysis of available information/cues, degree of accuracy ...

Distance perception during self-movement

Human Movement Science, 2019
The perception of distance in open fields was widely studied with static observers. However, it is a fact that we and the world around us are in continuous relative movement, and that our perceptual experience is shaped by the complex interactions between our senses and the perception of our self-motion.

Binocular distance perception: Egocentric distance tasks.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1985
This study extends and tests a theory of binocular distance perception that has been shown to give a good account of performance in relative distance tasks. Here the theory is tested in two experiments in which the observer directly indicates perceived egocentric distance of targets (perceived distance from himself or herself) by means of a verbal ...

Auditory distance perception in rooms

Nature, 1999
The perceived distance of a sound source in a room has been shown to depend on the ratio of the energies of direct and reflected sound. Although this relationship was verified in later studies, the research has never led to a quantitative model. The advent of techniques for the generation of virtual sound sources has made it possible to study distance ...

Distance Perception

Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2006
Distance perception seems to be an incredible achievement if it is construed as being based solely on static retinal images. Information provided by such images is sparse at best. On the other hand, when the perceptual context is taken to be one in which people are acting in natural environments, the informational bases for distance perception become ...

Stereoscopic egocentric distance perception

Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception, 2013
Stereoscopic displays can simulate the perception of depth information, potentially increasing human distance perception in remote viewing scenarios such as those involved in robotic tele-operation. However, distance perception is a complex perceptual task that is not yet fully understood.

Primary Distance Perception

1978
Most of the time we do not bump into obstacles, fall into holes, or reach for objects well beyond our grasp. We are able to behave adaptively with respect to distances in our environment. It is common to interpret such behavior as the product of an input (perceptual) process and an output (motor) process, each of which may consist of several ...

Distance Perception in Insects

Current Directions in Psychological Science, 1992
motor agility enigmatic. Unlike vertebrates, insects have immobile eyes with fixed-focus op tics. The absence of eye movements implies that the range of an object cannot be inferred from the extent to which the directions of gaze of the two eyes must converge to view the object. The inability of an insect eye to change focus means that the dis tance to

Auditory/visual distance perception

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
A considerable body of research suggests that the perception of sound source distance exhibits systematic biases. The distances of far sources are progressively underestimated, but near sources are overestimated. Such biases are typically not observed in vision, where perceived distance is found to be highly accurate under natural viewing conditions in
