The strategy involves two stages. First, features are organised into sets governed by relationships which imply that conclusions about their depths are logically connected. The term 'lattice' is a graphic way of describing that kind of structure. Many of the cues to depth and slant discussed in psychology are naturally considered as a source of stretch parameters. However, their explanatory power depends heavily on there being a lattice which they can be used to stretch, and much less has been said about possible lattices.
Computational vision offers many examples worth pursuing.
Blocks world' programs developed lattices based on that and the assumption that surfaces were plane wherever possible. Replacing assumptions about planarity with assumptions about parallels gives related results. Shading, texture, disparity, and flow with weak perspective can all define lattice-like results.
