  2. Orthographic map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_map_projection

    Orthographic projection in cartography has been used since antiquity. Like the stereographic projection and gnomonic projection, orthographic projection is a perspective projection in which the sphere is projected onto a tangent plane or secant plane. The point of perspective for the orthographic projection is at infinite distance.

  3. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    The weak-perspective model thus approximates perspective projection while using a simpler model, similar to the pure (unscaled) orthographic perspective. It is a reasonable approximation when the depth of the object along the line of sight is small compared to the distance from the camera, and the field of view is small.

  4. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  5. General Perspective projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Perspective_projection

    The Vertical Perspective is related to the stereographic projection, gnomonic projection, and orthographic projection. These are all true perspective projections, meaning that they result from viewing the globe from some vantage point. They are also azimuthal projections, meaning that the projection surface is a plane tangent to the sphere ...

  6. Planar projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_projection

    Planar projections are the subset of 3D graphical projections constructed by linearly mapping points in three-dimensional space to points on a two-dimensional projection plane. The projected point on the plane is chosen such that it is collinear with the corresponding three-dimensional point and the centre of projection .

  7. Anamorphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphosis

    There are two main types of anamorphosis: perspective (oblique) and mirror . More complex anamorphoses can be devised using distorted lenses, mirrors, or other optical transformations. More complex anamorphoses can be devised using distorted lenses, mirrors, or other optical transformations.

  8. Nursing assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_assessment

    Nursing assessment is the gathering of information about a patient's physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual status by a licensed Registered Nurse. Nursing assessment is the first step in the nursing process. A section of the nursing assessment may be delegated to certified nurses aides.

  9. Self-care - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-care

    Getting an appropriate amount of sleep each night is a form of self-care. Chronic illness (a health condition that is persistent and long lasting, often impacts one's whole life, e.g., heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure) requires behaviors that control the illness, decrease symptoms, and improve survival such as medication adherence and symptom monitoring.
