  2. Vertical–horizontal illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verticalhorizontal_illusion

    The verticalhorizontal illusion is the tendency for observers to overestimate the length of a vertical line relative to a horizontal line of the same length. [1] This involves a bisecting component that causes the bisecting line to appear longer than the line that is bisected. People often overestimate or underestimate the length of the ...

  3. Moiré pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    Moiré pattern. A moiré pattern formed by two units of parallel lines, one unit rotated 5° clockwise relative to the other. The fine lines that make up the sky in this image create moiré patterns when shown at some resolutions for the same reason that photographs of televisions exhibit moiré patterns: the lines are not absolutely level ...

  4. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    The horizon in the photograph is on the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds. The tree is at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point [1] or a crash point. [2] The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. [3]

  5. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    The vanishing point theorem is the principal theorem in the science of perspective. It says that the image in a picture plane π of a line L in space, not parallel to the picture, is determined by its intersection with π and its vanishing point. Some authors have used the phrase, "the image of a line includes its vanishing point".

  6. Check (pattern) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_(pattern)

    Tartan. v. t. e. Check (also checker, Brit: chequer, or dicing) is a pattern of modified stripes consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical lines which form squares. The pattern typically contains two colours where a single checker (that is a single square within the check pattern) is surrounded on all four sides by a checker of a different ...

  7. Image resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution

    Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved.

  8. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    Verticalhorizontal illusion: The Vertical-horizontal illusion is the tendency for observers to overestimate the length of a vertical line relative to a horizontal line of the same length. Visual tilt effects: Wagon-wheel effect: White's illusion: Wundt illusion: The two red vertical lines are both straight, but they may look as if they are ...

  9. Beau's lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau's_lines

    Beau's lines are horizontal, going across the nailline, and should not be confused with vertical ridges going from the bottom ( cuticle) of the nail out to the fingertip. These vertical lines are usually a natural consequence of aging and are harmless. [ 3][ 4] Beau's lines should also be distinguished from Muehrcke's lines of the fingernails.
