  2. Image formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_formation

    The ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object is the magnification. The spatial extent of the image surface and the focal length of the lens determines the field of view of the lens. Image formation of mirror these have a center of curvature and its focal length of the mirror is half of the center of curvature.

  3. Image sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor

    A micrograph of the corner of the photosensor array of a webcam digital camera Image sensor (upper left) on the motherboard of a Nikon Coolpix L2 6 MP. The two main types of digital image sensors are the charge-coupled device (CCD) and the active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor), fabricated in complementary MOS (CMOS) or N-type MOS (NMOS or Live MOS) technologies.

  4. Multispectral imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multispectral_imaging

    Hence the remote sensing data has to be classified first, followed by processing by various data enhancement techniques so as to help the user to understand the features that are present in the image. Such classification is a complex task which involves rigorous validation of the training samples depending on the classification algorithm used.

  5. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system performs a number of complex tasks based on the image forming functionality of the eye, including the formation of monocular images, the neural mechanisms underlying stereopsis and assessment of distances to (depth perception) and between objects, motion perception, pattern recognition, accurate motor coordination under visual ...

  6. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    These degrees, named by J. Petzval [16] the numerical orders of the image, are consequently only odd powers; the condition for the formation of an image of the mth order is that in the series for Dξ' and Dη' the coefficients of the powers of the 3rd, 5th...(m-2)th degrees must vanish. The images of the Gauss theory being of the third order ...

  7. Image-forming optical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-forming_optical_system

    In optics, an image-forming optical system is a system capable of being used for imaging. The diameter of the aperture of the main objective is a common criterion for comparison among optical systems, such as large telescopes. The two traditional optical systems are mirror-systems and lens-systems .

  8. Point spread function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function

    The degree of spreading (blurring) in the image of a point object for an imaging system is a measure of the quality of the imaging system. In non-coherent imaging systems, such as fluorescent microscopes, telescopes or optical microscopes, the image formation process is linear in the image intensity and described by a linear system theory. This ...

  9. Digital imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_imaging

    Digital image authentication is an issue [34] for the providers and producers of digital images such as health care organizations, law enforcement agencies, and insurance companies. There are methods emerging in forensic photography to analyze a digital image and determine if it has been altered .
