Abstract

Five experiments were conducted to examine constraints used to interpret structure-from-motion displays. Theoretically, two orthographic views of four or more points in rigid motion yield a one-parameter family of rigid three-dimensional (3-D) interpretations. Additional views yield a unique rigid interpretation. Subjects viewed two-view and thirty-view displays of five-point objects in apparent motion. The subjects selected the best 3-D interpretation from a set of 89 compatible alternatives (experiments 1-3) or judged depth directly (experiment 4). In both cases the judged depth increased when relative image motion increased, even when the increased motion was due to increased simulation rotation. Subjects also judged rotation to be greater when either simulated depth or simulated rotation increased (experiment 4). The results are consistent with a heuristic analysis in which perceived depth is determined by relative motion.
