Abstract	Abstract The motion-induced contour is an illusory contour seen in the image of an object undergoing the figural transformations associated with rotation in depth. The efficacy of several sources of depth information, including binocular disparity, perspective and additional image transformations associated with three-dimensional motion, was tested in six experiments. A stationary image of an object served as the baseline condition. In each experiment, the results indicated that only in those conditions, in which the image underwent the figural transformations associated with rotation in depth, was contour perceptibility superior to the stationary condition. The motion-induced contour appears to be a result of the visual mechanisms involved in kinetic shape perception. These results support Coren's (1972) notion of the association between illusory contours and depth processing.
