  2. Mathematical morphology - Wikipedia

    The dilation is commutative, also given by = =. If B has a center on the origin, as before, then the dilation of A by B can be understood as the locus of the points covered by B when the center of B moves inside A. In the above example, the dilation of the square of side 10 by the disk of radius 2 is a square of side 14, with rounded corners ...

  3. Triangulation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(geometry)

    The concept of a triangulation may also be generalized somewhat to subdivisions into shapes related to triangles. In particular, a pseudotriangulation of a point set is a partition of the convex hull of the points into pseudotriangles—polygons that, like triangles, have exactly three convex vertices. As in point set triangulations ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(morphology)

    Dilation is commutative, also given by = =. If B has a center on the origin, then the dilation of A by B can be understood as the locus of the points covered by B when the center of B moves inside A. The dilation of a square of size 10, centered at the origin, by a disk of radius 2, also centered at the origin, is a square of side 14, with ...

  5. Spiral similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Similarity

    A spiral similarity taking triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'. Spiral similarity is a plane transformation in mathematics composed of a rotation and a dilation. [1] It is used widely in Euclidean geometry to facilitate the proofs of many theorems and other results in geometry, especially in mathematical competitions and olympiads.

  6. Homothetic center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homothetic_center

    Figure 1: The point O is an external homothetic center for the two triangles. The size of each figure is proportional to its distance from the homothetic center. In geometry, a homothetic center (also called a center of similarity or a center of similitude) is a point from which at least two geometrically similar figures can be seen as a dilation or contraction of one another.

  7. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    The Kepler triangle is a right triangle whose sides are in geometric progression. If the sides are formed from the geometric progression a, ar, ar 2 then its common ratio r is given by r = √ φ where φ is the golden ratio. Its sides are therefore in the ratio 1 : √ φ : φ. Thus, the shape of the Kepler triangle is uniquely determined (up ...

  8. Point-set triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-set_triangulation

    Triangulations have a number of applications, and there is an interest to find the "good" triangulations of a given point set under some criteria as, for instance minimum-weight triangulations. Sometimes it is desirable to have a triangulation with special properties, e.g., in which all triangles have large angles (long and narrow ("splinter ...

  9. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    One of the sensors is typically a digital camera device, and the other one can also be a camera or a light projector. The projection centers of the sensors and the considered point on the object's surface define a (spatial) triangle. Within this triangle, the distance between the sensors is the base b and must be known. By determining the ...
