  2. 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.

  3. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    The foreshortening factor (1/2 in this example) is inversely proportional to the tangent of the angle (63.43° in this example) between the projection plane (colored brown) and the projection lines (dotted). Front view of the same. Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors)

  4. Keystone effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_effect

    The keystone effect is the apparent distortion of an image caused by projecting it onto an angled surface. It is the distortion of the image dimensions, such as making a square look like a trapezoid, the shape of an architectural keystone, hence the name of the feature.

  5. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    For example, if standing at a distance so that a normal lens captures someone's face, a shot with a wide-angle lens or telephoto lens from the same distance will have exactly the same linear perspective geometry on the face, though the wide-angle lens may fit the entire body into the shot, while the telephoto lens captures only the nose.

  6. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    For instance, a mixed distribution consisting of very thin Gaussians centred at −99, 0.5, and 2 with weights 0.01, 0.66, and 0.33 has a skewness of about −9.77, but in a sample of 3 has an expected value of about 0.32, since usually all three samples are in the positive-valued part of the distribution, which is skewed the other way.

  7. Skew coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_coordinates

    A system of skew coordinates is a curvilinear coordinate system where the coordinate surfaces are not orthogonal, [1] in contrast to orthogonal coordinates.. Skew coordinates tend to be more complicated to work with compared to orthogonal coordinates since the metric tensor will have nonzero off-diagonal components, preventing many simplifications in formulas for tensor algebra and tensor ...

  8. Skew arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_arch

    Colorado Street Bridge, an example of a false skew arch. The strength of a regular arch (also known as a "square" or "right" arch) comes from the fact that the mass of the structure and its superincumbent load cause lines of force that are carried by the stones into the ground and the abutments without producing any tendency for the stones to slide with respect to one another.

  9. L-moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-moment

    16 - 10 log 2 (3) = 0.1504 The notation for the parameters of each distribution is the same as that used in the linked article. In the expression for the mean of the Gumbel distribution , γ e is the Euler–Mascheroni constant 0.5772 1566 4901 ... .
