Shape Constancy allows us to view objects as still their original shape, even when the angles they are put at distort the picture. The circles in the pictures are distorted as some are leaning towards the side, but we still perceive them as a circle.

11). Brightness Constancy
Brightness Constancy simply refers to the ability to see that colour remains the same even under different levels of brightness. The man in the picture is wearing the exact same clothes, that are the exact same colour. The only differences in the pictures are the background colours, and the sun and the moon.
10). Size Constancy
9). Motion Perception
8). Relative Size Mono cue
7). Light and Shadow Mono cue
This cue shows that light colored objects appear closer to us then darker colors. Dark colors appear far away because of its shade. This cue is shown by the dice above. The dice have four shades of grey, the front, side, top, and the actual shadow. This represents that the lightest shade is closest to us.
4). Proximity
3). Similarity

6.) binocular cues
your sense of depth perception relies strongly on both eyes working together to find the range or depth of a stimulus in you visual field. the lenses in both your eyes work similarly to certain range finders used in hunting or war. these range finders rely on two lenses picking up two slightly
different images, then extracting distance information from them. these two lenses working together are known as convergence.
5.) figure-ground perception
Figure-ground perception can be described as the tendency of the visual
system to simplify the scene into a figure that we are looking at, and everything else into the ground which forms the background. For example the picture above is composed of black and white space. You should be able to pick out two separate images but only one at a time. The black space displays an image of a hand. The white space displays the highlighted features of a persons face, which is looking down.
2.) law of continuity
the law of continuity is implied in this picture because, even though there aren't two lines intersecting our brain connects the dots to make two separate lines. in fact this picture has no lines at all we just perceive the dots as being two intersecting lines continuing on. the law of continuity states that we have a preference towards perceptions of connected and continuous figures as opposed to disconnected and disjointed ones.
