  2. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Perspective, relative size, occultation and texture gradients all contribute to the three-dimensional appearance of this photo. Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions.

  3. Stereoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

    Stereoscopy (also called stereoscopics, or stereo imaging) is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision. [2] The word stereoscopy derives from Greek στερεός (stereos) 'firm, solid', and σκοπέω (skopeō) 'to look, to see'. [3] [4] Any stereoscopic image is ...

  4. Vergence (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence_(optics)

    In geometrical optics, vergence describes the curvature of optical wavefronts. [1] Vergence is defined as. where n is the medium's refractive index and r is the distance from the point source to the wavefront. Vergence is measured in units of dioptres (D) which are equivalent to m −1. [1] This describes the vergence in terms of optical power.

  5. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    The Mandelbrot set ( / ˈmændəlbroʊt, - brɒt /) [1] [2] is a two-dimensional set with a relatively simple definition that exhibits great complexity, especially as it is magnified. It is popular for its aesthetic appeal and fractal structures. The set is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers for which the function does not ...

  6. Autostereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram

    The top and bottom images produce a dent or projection depending on whether viewed with cross- () or wall- () eyed vergence. An autostereogram is a two-dimensional (2D) image that can create the optical illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene. Autostereograms use only one image to accomplish the effect while normal stereograms require two.

  7. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    In human visual perception, the visual angle, denoted θ, subtended by a viewed object sometimes looks larger or smaller than its actual value. One approach to this phenomenon posits a subjective correlate to the visual angle: the perceived visual angle or perceived angular size. An optical illusion where the physical and subjective angles ...

  8. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Binocular vision. Principle of binocular vision with horopter shown. In biology, binocular vision is a type of vision in which an animal has two eyes capable of facing the same direction to perceive a single three-dimensional image of its surroundings. Binocular vision does not typically refer to vision where an animal has eyes on opposite ...

  9. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    Binocular disparity is the angle between two lines of projection . One of which is the real projection from the object to the actual point of projection. The other one is the imaginary projection running through the nodal point of the fixation point. In computer vision, binocular disparity is calculated from stereo images taken from a set of ...
