2. Fisheye lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens

   A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. [4][5]: 145 Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angles of view, well beyond any rectilinear lens. Instead of producing images with straight lines of perspective (rectilinear images), fisheye lenses use ...

3. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

   Underwater vision. Scuba diver with bifocal lenses fitted to a mask. Underwater vision is the ability to see objects underwater, and this is significantly affected by several factors. Underwater, objects are less visible because of lower levels of natural illumination caused by rapid attenuation of light with distance passed through the water.

4. Orlando Science Center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Science_Center

   The Orlando Science Center (OSC) is a private science museum located in Orlando, Florida. Its purposes are to provide experience-based opportunities for learning about science and technology and to promote public understanding of science. The Orlando Science Center is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and is a member of the ...

5. Luneburg lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luneburg_lens

   A Luneburg lens (original German Lüneburg lens) is a spherically symmetric gradient-index lens. A typical Luneburg lens's refractive index n decreases radially from the center to the outer surface. They can be made for use with electromagnetic radiation from visible light to radio waves. For certain index profiles, the lens will form perfect ...

6. History of photographic lens design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic...

   A fisheye lens is a special type of ultra-wide angle retrofocus lens with little or no attempt to correct for rectilinear distortion. Most fisheyes produce a circular image with a 180° field of view. The term fisheye comes from the supposition that a fish looking up at the sky would see in the same way. [1]: 145

7. Hemispherical photography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_photography

   Hemispherical photograph used to study microclimate of winter roosting habitat at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico.. Hemispherical photography, also known as canopy photography, is a technique to estimate solar radiation and characterize plant canopy geometry using photographs taken looking upward through an extreme wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens (Rich 1990).

8. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

   Usually, light enters through the fish eye at the cornea and passes through the pupil in order to reach the lens. Most fish species have a fixed size of the pupil while a few species have a muscular iris that allows for the adjustment of the pupil diameter. Fish eyes have a more spherical lens than other terrestrial vertebrates.

9. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

   Perspective distortion. Transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs from its normal focal length. Simulation showing how adjusting the angle of view of a camera, while varying the camera's distance and keeping the object in frame, results in vastly differing images. At narrow angles and long distances, light rays are ...
