    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat's_eye_(road)

    Cat's eye glass body and principle of operation; back (left) face is mirror-coated. The cat's eye design originated in the UK in 1934 and is today used all over the world. [1] The original form consisted of two pairs of retroreflectors set into a white rubber dome, mounted in a cast iron housing. This is the kind that marks the centre of the ...

  3. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A convex mirror diagram showing the focus, focal length, centre of curvature, principal axis, etc. A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. [1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.

  7. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    A catadioptric optical system is one where refraction and reflection are combined in an optical system, usually via lenses and curved mirrors . Catadioptric combinations are used in focusing systems such as searchlights , headlamps , early lighthouse focusing systems, optical telescopes , microscopes , and telephoto lenses .

  8. Curvilinear perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_perspective

    Curvilinear barrel distortion Curvilinear pincushion distortion. Curvilinear perspective, also five-point perspective, is a graphical projection used to draw 3D objects on 2D surfaces, for which (straight) lines on the 3D object are projected to curves on the 2D surface that are typically not straight (hence the qualifier "curvilinear" [citation needed]).
