What is the difference between monocular and binocular depth cues?

Binocular depth cues consist solely of stereopsis. This is the name given to the ability of the human brain to combine the slightly different images received from both eyes in order to perceive depth. Monocular depth cues include size constancy, relative size and superimposition and rely on information received solely from one eye.
