“…When a textured surface is viewed in perspective, deformations of the texture in the projected image provide information about the 3D structure of the surface. Previous studies have shown the visual system can utilize texture information from a monocular image to perceive the 3D slant of planar surfaces (e.g., Rosenholtz & Malik, 1997;Knill, 1998a;Tibau, Willems, van den Bergh, & Wagemans, 2001;Saunders, 2003;Rosas, Wichmann, & Wagemans, 2004;Norman, Crabtree, Bartholomew, & Ferrell, 2009;Todd, Christensen, & Guckes, 2010;Saunders & Chen, 2015), and to perceive the 3D shape of curved surfaces (e.g., Todd & Akerstrom, 1987;Li & Zaidi, 2000;Todd, Thaler, & Dijkstra, 2005;Todd, Thaler, Dijkstra, Koenderink, & Kappers, 2007;Todd & Thaler, 2010). Texture information also contributes to 3D perception in binocular viewing conditions that provide stereo depth information, as demonstrated by studies using a cue conflict paradigm (Gillam, 1968;Buckley & Frisby, 1993;Knill & Saunders, 2003;Hillis, Watt, Landy, & Banks, 2004;Watt, Akeley, Ernst, & Banks, 2005;Rosas, Wagemans, Ernst, & Wichmann, 2005;Girshick & Banks, 2009;Saunders & Chen, 2015).…”
