Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues. These are typically classified into binocular cues and monocular cues. Binocular cues are based on the receipt of sensory information in three dimensions from both eyes and monocular cues can be observed with just one eye.
Monocular cues provide depth information when viewing a scene with one eye. Accommodation – This is an oculomotor cue for depth perception. When we try to focus on distant objects, the ciliary muscles relax allowing the eye lens to flatten, making it thinner.
How the brain combines different cues, including stereo cues, motion cues (both temporal changes in disparity and monocular velocity ratios [8]), vergence angle and monocular cues for sensing motion in depth and 3D object position is an area of active research in vision science and neighboring disciplines.

An example of monocular portrait images of human faces that have been converted to create a moving 3D photo using depth estimation via Machine Learning using TensorFlow.js [3] in the browser. With advances in machine learning and computer vision, [3] it is now also possible to recreate this effect using a single monocular image as an input. [4]
Stereoscopy is the production of the impression of depth in a photograph, movie, or other two-dimensional image by the presentation of a slightly different image to each eye, which adds the first of these cues . The two images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of depth. Because all points in the image produced by stereoscopy ...
A random-dot stereogram (RDS) is stereo pair of images of random dots that, when viewed with the aid of a stereoscope, or with the eyes focused on a point in front of or behind the images, produces a sensation of depth due to stereopsis, with objects appearing to be in front of or behind the display level.
The Ponzo illusion is an example of an illusion which uses monocular cues of depth perception to fool the eye. But even with two-dimensional images, the brain exaggerates vertical distances when compared with horizontal distances, as in the vertical–horizontal illusion where the two lines are exactly the same length.
The visual system performs a number of complex tasks based on the image forming functionality of the eye, including the formation of monocular images, the neural mechanisms underlying stereopsis and assessment of distances to (depth perception) and between objects, motion perception, pattern recognition, accurate motor coordination under visual ...
