Explanation for The Leaning Tower illusion

The two images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa are identical, yet one has the impression that the tower on the right leans more, as if photographed from a different angle. The reason for this is because the visual system treats the two images as if part of a single scene. Normally, if two adjacent towers rise at the same angle, their image outlines converge as they recede from view due to perspective, and this is taken into account by the visual system. So when confronted with two towers whose corresponding outlines are parallel, the visual system assumes they must be diverging as they rise from view, and this is what we see. The illusion is not restricted to towers photographed from below, but works well with other scenes, such as railway tracks receding into the distance. What this illusion reveals is less to do with perspective, but how the visual system tends to treat two side-by-side images as if part of the same scene. However hard we try to think of the two photographs of the Leaning Tower as separate, albeit identical images of the same object, our visual system regards them as the ‘Twin Towers of Pisa’, whose perspective can only be interpreted in terms of one tower leaning more than the other.

I donno how many here loves photography, but this is the basic photography knowledge, you can term Photography 101

Thanks Jinxie.

Well that can never be the solution rather I would say thats running away from the problem. We can start many threads if the previous ones are closed, but with this sort of childish behaviour what guarantee it has that those wont be closed soon enough?

The solution is in changing our behaviour collectively and the pride is in keeping this thread alive :) :cheers:

Jinxie, I think somewhere you told that you are 19 , so I am not surprised, In your age even i used to give in to temptations very easily. I used to have the belief that who ever opposes my belief is absolutely wrong.

I think Zaki told you to simply ignore him or anytone provoking you, I know its tough sometimes but not completely impossible.

There are some members who have certain type of obsessions for the poverty of India, lack of toilets and the illfamed cast system amonst a few. Have you ever seen any mature member discussing and replying in those threads?
Even when you were spewing venom about the beauty/ugliness of people, did I ever try to prove you wrong in anyway?

Jinxie, just try to ignore the trolls, as AM said nothing irritates them more than ignoring them :)

Hope you understood my point :cheers:
 
So dreamer, what dreams you see? :P

Tell me about the ones you see with the open eyes :)
