Abstract
Observers judged the apparent signs and magnitudes of surface slant from monocular textured images of convex or concave dihedral angles with varying fields of view between 5° and 60°. The results revealed that increasing the field of view or the regularity of the surface texture produced large increases in the magnitude of the perceptual gain (i.e., the judged slant divided by the ground truth). Additional regression analyses also revealed that observers slant judgments were highly correlated with the range of texture densities (or spatial frequencies) in each display, which accounted for 96% of the variance among the different possible dihedral angles and fields of view.
