  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. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    Bottom: The formation of a real image using a concave mirror. In both diagrams, f is the focal point, O is the object, and I is the image. Solid blue lines indicate light rays. It can be seen that the image is formed by actual light rays and thus can form a visible image on a screen placed at the position of the image.

  4. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    The magnification of the virtual image formed by the plane mirror is 1. Top: The formation of a virtual image using a diverging lens. Bottom: The formation of a virtual image using a convex mirror. In both diagrams, f is the focal point, O is the object, and I is the virtual image, shown in grey. Solid blue lines indicate (real) light rays and ...

  5. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Visual perception is the ability to detect light and use it to form an image of the surrounding environment. [1] Photodetection without image formation is classified as light sensing. In most vertebrates, visual perception can be enabled by photopic vision (daytime vision) or scotopic vision (night vision), with most vertebrates having both.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Image schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_schema

    An image schema (both schemas and schemata are used as plural forms) is a recurring structure within our cognitive processes which establishes patterns of understanding and reasoning. As an understudy to embodied cognition, image schemas are formed from our bodily interactions, [1] from linguistic

  8. Image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image

    Images can also be animated through digital or physical processes. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s). [1] In optics, the term image (or optical image) refers specifically to the reproduction of an object formed by light waves coming from the object. [2]

  9. 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 .
