Stellar parallax motion from annual parallax. Half the apex angle is the parallax angle. Parallax is an angle subtended by two lines crossing a point. In the upper diagram, the Earth (blue-filled circle) in its orbit sweeps the parallax angle subtended on the Sun (yellow-filled circle).

When an observer moves, the apparent relative motion of several stationary objects against a background gives hints about their relative distance. If information about the direction and velocity of movement is known, motion parallax can provide absolute depth information. [5] This effect can be seen clearly when driving in a car.
This is known as motion parallax, and this depth information can be used to generate an accurate 3D representation of the world around them. [2] Finding structure from motion presents a similar problem to finding structure from stereo vision. In both instances, the correspondence between images and the reconstruction of 3D object needs to be found.
Wiggling works for the same reason that a transitional pan (or tracking shot) in a film provides good depth information: the visual cortex is able to infer distance information from motion parallax, the relative speed of the perceived motion of different objects on the screen. Many small animals bob their heads to create motion parallax ...
Motion parallax – When an observer moves, the apparent relative motion of several stationary objects against a background gives hints about their relative distance. If information about the direction and velocity of movement is known, motion parallax can provide absolute depth information. [4]

Under normal circumstances, the depth specified by stereopsis agrees with other depth cues, such as motion parallax (when an observer moves while looking at one point in a scene, the fixation point, points nearer and farther than the fixation point appear to move against or with the movement, respectively, at velocities proportional to the ...
