Detailed explanation-1: -Page 4. Occlusion-when one object partially covers another. Relative height-objects that are higher in the field of vision are. more distant.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. Motion parallax: Motion parallax is when we move our head back and forth. Objects at different distances will move at slightly different speeds. This is because closer objects move in the opposite direction of our head movement and objects farther away move with our heads.

Detailed explanation-3: -Due to light scattering by the atmosphere, objects that are a great distance away have lower luminance contrast and lower color saturation. Due to this, images seem hazy the farther they are away from a person’s point of view. In computer graphics, this is often called “distance fog".

Detailed explanation-4: -Relative size refers to the fact that the more distant an object, the smaller its image will be on the retina. Therefore, if there are two identical objects, the one that is farther away will be the one that has a smaller image on the retina.

Detailed explanation-5: -Relative Height is a concept used in visual and artistic perspective where distant objects are seen or portrayed as being smaller and higher in relation to items that are closer. This phenomenon can be seen when looking at a landscape and seeing that distant objects-trees, rocks, animals, etc.
