  2. Science of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography

    The science of photography is the use of chemistry and physics in all aspects of photography. This applies to the camera, its lenses, physical operation of the camera, electronic camera internals, and the process of developing film in order to take and develop pictures properly. [1]

  3. Pinhole camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera

    A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture (the so-called pinhole)—effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.

  4. Camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera

    Leica camera (1950s) Hasselblad 500 C/M with Zeiss lens. A camera is an instrument used to capture and store images and videos, either digitally via an electronic image sensor, or chemically via a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. As a pivotal technology in the fields of photography and videography, cameras have played a ...

  5. Photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography

    [11] [12] In the 6th century CE, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a type of camera obscura in his experiments. [13] The Arab physicist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) also invented a camera obscura as well as the first true pinhole camera. [12] [14] [15] The invention of the camera has been traced back to the work of Ibn ...

  6. Pinhole camera model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera_model

    It also does not take into account that most practical cameras have only discrete image coordinates. This means that the pinhole camera model can only be used as a first order approximation of the mapping from a 3D scene to a 2D image. Its validity depends on the quality of the camera and, in general, decreases from the center of the image to ...

  7. Particle image velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_image_velocimetry

    These problems do not exist in Stereoscopic PIV, which uses two cameras to measure all three velocity components. Since the resulting velocity vectors are based on cross-correlating the intensity distributions over small areas of the flow, the resulting velocity field is a spatially averaged representation of the actual velocity field.

  8. Thermography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

    Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foregroundInfrared thermography (IRT), thermal video or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.

  9. Ghost imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_imaging

    Ghost imaging (also called "coincidence imaging", "two-photon imaging" or "correlated-photon imaging") is a technique that produces an image of an object by combining information from two light detectors: a conventional, multi-pixel detector that does not view the object, and a single-pixel (bucket) detector that does view the object.
