Abstract

A compelling impression of surface slant is produced by random dot displays depicting deformation and translation alone. A simple model of slant estimation based upon deformation is shown to capture quantitatively both the perceived slant in this situation and the distortion in perceived slant produced when constant deformation is added to random dot displays depicting moving slanted surfaces. The results confirm that deformation provides a simple account of perceived slant.
