  2. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    The appearance of the figure is sensitive to the ratio ⁠ a / b ⁠. For a ratio of 1, when the frequencies match a=b, the figure is an ellipse, with special cases including circles (A = B, δ = ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) and lines (δ = 0). A small change to one of the frequencies will mean the x oscillation after one cycle will be slightly out ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadia_mark

    For example, a typical stadia mark pair are set so that the ratio is 100. If one observes a vertical length on a stadia rod, rule or levelling rod with the telescope and sees that the rod spans 0.500 m between the marks (the stadia interval), then the horizontal distance from the instrument to the rod is: 0.500m x 100 = 50 m.

  4. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope. Slope: In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes the direction and steepness of the line. [ 1] Often denoted by the letter m, slope is calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change ("rise over run") between two distinct points on the line, giving the same number for any choice of ...

    Horizontal dilution of precision VDOP Vertical dilution of precision PDOP Position (3D) dilution of precision TDOP Time dilution of precision GDOP Geometric dilution of precision. These values follow mathematically from the positions of the usable satellites. Signal receivers allow the display of these positions (skyplot) as well as the DOP values.

  7. T-square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-square

    A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table. The instrument is named after its resemblance to the letter T, with a long shaft called the "blade" and a short shaft called the "stock" or "head". T-squares are available in a range of sizes, with common lengths ...

  8. Recurrence quantification analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_quantification...

    Recurrence plots mostly contain single dots and lines which are parallel to the mean diagonal (line of identity, LOI) or which are vertical/horizontal. Lines parallel to the LOI are referred to as diagonal lines and the vertical structures as vertical lines. Because an RP is usually symmetric, horizontal and vertical lines correspond to each ...

  9. Image resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution

    Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved.
