Abstract
SFM (Structure From Motion) is a visual phenomenon, as a well-known ill-problem, that the perception of the three-dimensional spatial structure, such as shape and depth, can be produced from two-dimensional visual images. It has not been clear how a mechanism of this perception can solve this problem. For instance, there is some ambiguity concerning the depth structure in this perception. In this study, we tested whether chromatic contrast can determine the depth structure, to investigate what kind of visual cues contributes to produce the appropriate depth structure in this perception. We found that the chromatic contrast strongly engaged with the determination of the depth structure.
