Monocular Cues
Linear Perspective
Parallel lines appear to converge as the distance from the observer increases.
Texture Gradient
Objects that are further away appear smaller and tightly clustered compared to closer objects.
The image below, uses texture gradient and linear perspective in the buildings in the background to create depth.
