The algorithm can correctly resolve the visibility without making use of any depth information. It is especially useful when depth information is notavailable, such as in the case of real-world photographs.

It was a desert phase California Kingsnake. Mountain Kings are not found in the desert. They are found in hilly/mountainous terrain and like to be near water. They have black, white and red bands. If you'd like we could next time go to the San Bernardino Mountains, Verdugos,, San Gorgonios or San Jacintos and look for them. Or you could take Catherine on a walk in Monrovia Canyon and look around leaf litter next to the stream. You may find one there! ;^) Hi Jane:

We saw a young Mojave Green Rattlesnake, three Glossy snakes (a baby, and two larger ones) two long-nosed snakes, and a sad sight - an injured California Mountain King Snake. Plus a western banded gecko, many desert jackrabbits (Black-tailed hare) and cottontails (Audubon cottontail), and night hawks catching the bugs our headlights illuminated. Lots of mice too crossing the road at night. Saturday night was too cold for the reptiles to be out on the road, but those of us who went roadcruising Friday night were successful.
