  2. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and, in the military, the gun direction, the trajectory and distribution of fire power of weapons. The use of triangles to estimate distances dates to antiquity.

  3. Triangulation (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(psychology)

    Triangulation is a term in psychology most closely associated with the work of Murray Bowen known as family therapy. [ unreliable source? ] Bowen theorized that a two-person emotional system is unstable, in that under stress it forms itself into a three-person system or triangle.

  4. Triangulation (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(topology)

    A triangulation of the square that respects the gluings, like that shown below, also defines a triangulation of the torus. A two dimensional torus, represented as the gluing of a square via the map g, identifying its opposite sites; The projective plane admits a triangulation (see CW-complexes)

  5. Triangulation (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(surveying)

    Triangulation can also refer to the accurate surveying of systems of very large triangles, called triangulation networks. This followed from the work of Willebrord Snell in 1615–17, who showed how a point could be located from the angles subtended from three known points, but measured at the new unknown point rather than the previously fixed ...

  6. Triangulation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(geometry)

    In geometry, a triangulation is a subdivision of a planar object into triangles, and by extension the subdivision of a higher-dimension geometric object into simplices. Triangulations of a three-dimensional volume would involve subdividing it into tetrahedra packed together.

  7. Triangulation (computer vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(computer...

    In computer vision, triangulation refers to the process of determining a point in 3D space given its projections onto two, or more, images. In order to solve this problem it is necessary to know the parameters of the camera projection function from 3D to 2D for the cameras involved, in the simplest case represented by the camera matrices .

  8. Triangulation (politics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(politics)

    In politics, triangulation is a strategy associated with U.S. President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. The politician presents a position as being above or between the left and right sides or wings of a democratic political spectrum .

  9. Point-set triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-set_triangulation

    A triangulation of a set of points in the Euclidean space is a simplicial complex that covers the convex hull of , and whose vertices belong to . [1] In the plane (when P {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}} is a set of points in R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} ), triangulations are made up of triangles, together with their edges and vertices.
