Satellite photograph of a mesa in the Cydonia region of Mars, often called the "Face on Mars" and cited as evidence of extraterrestrial habitation. Pareidolia (/ ˌ p ær ɪ ˈ d oʊ l i ə, ˌ p ɛər-/; [1] also US: / ˌ p ɛər aɪ-/) [2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or ...

Objects don’t have feelings, but some people treat them like they do. It’s called anthropomorphizing, and it’s natural to do to objects and animals, experts say.
In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).
The texture can provide information that helps to distinguish whole objects, and the changing texture in an image reveals which distinct objects may be part of the same group. Texture segmentation rules often both cooperate and compete with each other, and examining the texture can yield information about the layers of the image, disambiguating ...
To give you a glimpse of how amazing this connection can be, here's a list of man-made objects that fit the bill. #1 Bird Safe Glass Every day, hundreds of birds die from flying into glass windows.
This image makes the Paranal Observatory's laser guide stars' meeting point feel closer than it really is. In reality, the beams extend to an infinite distance. Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is.
