The Apparent Size of Three-Dimensional Objects and Their Silhouettes: A Solid-Superiority Effect

Feb 1, 1988 · 2 authors · 3 topics

Abstract

A solid object looks larger than its outline or silhouette under many viewing conditions. This solid-superiority effect may result from the assimilation or confusion of visual contours within the projection of a three-dimensional object on the picture plane. An aspect of the Müller-Lyer illusion may also play a role.
