Table 1 Regression Analyses of the distance perceived in each lighting condition in the two environments showing estimates, standard errors (SE) and 95% confidence limits (CLs), using Eq. (3). Accurate performance would have an intercept of zero and a slope of one. The p value indicates whether the row is significantly different from the values of the Ambient condition.

From: Distance mis-estimations can be reduced with specific shadow locations
