An accidental viewpoint (i.e. eccentric or fixed viewpoint) is a singular position from which an image can be perceived, creating either an ambiguous image or an illusion. The image perceived at this angle is viewpoint-specific, meaning it cannot be perceived at any other position, known as generic or non-accidental viewpoints. These view-specific angles are involved in object recognition.[1] In its uses in art and other visual illusions, the accidental viewpoint creates the perception of depth often on a two-dimensional surface[2] with the assistance of monocular cues.
