A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [ 4 ] It is not an SI unit —the SI unit of angular measure is the radian —but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit . [ 5 ]
Schematic of an omnidirectional camera with two mirrors: 1. Camera 2. Upper Mirror 3. Lower Mirror 4. "Black Spot" 5. Field of View (light blue) In photography, an omnidirectional camera (from "omni", meaning all), also known as 360-degree camera, is a camera having a field of view that covers approximately the entire sphere or at least a full circle in the horizontal plane.
An angle larger than a straight angle but less than 1 turn (between 180° and 360°) is called a reflex angle. An angle equal to 1 turn (360° or 2 π radians) is called a full angle, complete angle, round angle or perigon. An angle that is not a multiple of a right angle is called an oblique angle.
The azimuth is the angle between the north vector and the star's vector on the horizontal plane. [2] Azimuth is usually measured in degrees (°), in the positive range 0° to 360° or in the signed range -180° to +180°.
360-degree panoramic projection of the VLT survey telescope [26] Rotating panoramic cameras, also called slit scan or scanning cameras are capable of 360° or greater degree of rotation. A clockwork or motorized mechanism rotates the camera continuously and pulls the film through the camera, so the motion of the film matches that of the image ...
The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle—the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians. As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) [1] or to one revolution (symbol rev or r). [2]
Some omnidirectional cameras contain wide-angle lenses on the front and rear to facilitate the recording of 360-degree video. 360-degree video is typically recorded using either a special rig of multiple cameras, or using a dedicated camera that contains multiple camera lenses embedded into the device, and recording overlapping angles simultaneously.
The arc length spanned by a central angle on a sphere is called spherical distance. The size of a central angle Θ is 0° < Θ < 360° or 0 < Θ < 2π (radians). When defining or drawing a central angle, in addition to specifying the points A and B , one must specify whether the angle being defined is the convex angle (<180°) or the reflex ...
