  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor for volume of one half. The basic equation for it is image over preimage. In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity.

  3. Aerial photographic and satellite image interpretation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_photographic_and...

    If the plane is flying from South to North, shadows will not be clearly observed. [2] For photo interpretation, it is preferred that the image is taken so that the shadows can be clearly observed [2] as shadows can highlight the relief of the topography. [2] This orientation of the image also helps geologists link the 3D pictures to what they ...

  4. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    In considering the effect of sensor size, and its effect on the final image, the different magnification required to obtain the same size image for viewing must be accounted for, resulting in an additional scale factor of / where is the relative crop factor, making the overall scale factor / (). Considering the three cases above:

  5. 2D computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2D_computer_graphics

    Such a scaling changes the diameter of an object by a factor between the scale factors, the area by a factor between the smallest and the largest product of two scale factors, and the volume by the product of all three. The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors ...

  6. Plate scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_scale

    The plate scale of a telescope connects the angular separation of an object with the linear separation of its image at the focal plane. If focal length f {\displaystyle f} is measured in mm, the plate scale in radians per mm is given by angular separation θ and the linear separation of the image at the focal plane s , or by simply the focal ...

  7. Point reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_reflection

    When the inversion point P coincides with the origin, point reflection is equivalent to a special case of uniform scaling: uniform scaling with scale factor equal to −1. This is an example of linear transformation. When P does not coincide with the origin, point reflection is equivalent to a special case of homothetic transformation ...

  8. Image (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_(mathematics)

    The image of the function is the set of all output values it may produce, that is, the image of . The preimage of f {\displaystyle f} , that is, the preimage of Y {\displaystyle Y} under f {\displaystyle f} , always equals X {\displaystyle X} (the domain of f {\displaystyle f} ); therefore, the former notion is rarely used.

  9. 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)
