## Where it stands

**Disputed** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The image geometry matches contact with a relief rather than a wrapped body.
- A relief technique reproduces superficiality and intensity-distance correlation.

## What would rule it out

- A demonstration that the image proportions require a three-dimensional body.
