  2. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Perspective, relative size, occultation and texture gradients all contribute to the three-dimensional appearance of this photo. Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions

  3. Consistency model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model

    Example: Slow memory diagram depicts a slow consistency example. The first process writes 1 to the memory location X and then it writes 1 to the memory location Y. The second process reads 1 from Y and it then reads 0 from X even though X was written before Y.

  4. Size consistency and size extensivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_consistency_and_size...

    In quantum chemistry, size consistency and size extensivity are concepts relating to how the behaviour of quantum-chemistry calculations changes with the system size. Size consistency (or strict separability) is a property that guarantees the consistency of the energy behaviour when interaction between the involved molecular subsystems is nullified (for example, by distance).

  5. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    An optical illusion of relative size perception. The two black circles are exactly the same size; however, the one on the left seems larger. Disappearing Model: A trompe-l'œil body painting by Joanne Gair. The dress: An optical illusion resulting from the brain's attempt to discount coloured tinting from daylight and other sources. [1]

  6. Subjective constancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_constancy

    Distance constancy refers to the relationship between apparent distance and physical distance. [8] An illusion example of this would be the moon - when it is near the horizon it is perceived as larger (size constancy) and/or closer to earth than when it is above our heads. Location constancy refers to the relationship between the viewer and the ...

  7. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    Angular size illusions are most obvious as relative angular size illusions, in which two objects that subtend the same visual angle appear to have different angular sizes; it is as if their equal-sized images on the retina were of different sizes. Angular size illusions are contrasted with linear size illusions, in which two objects that are ...

  8. UML state machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UML_state_machine

    The state diagram from Figure 2 is an example of an extended state machine, in which the complete condition of the system (called the extended state) is the combination of a qualitative aspect—the state variable—and the quantitative aspects—the extended state variables. The obvious advantage of extended state machines is flexibility.

  9. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    For example, these can be in brightness or color, called intensive properties of targets, e.g. Mach bands. Or they can be in their location, size, orientation or depth, called extensive . When an illusion involves properties that fall within the purview of geometry it is geometrical–optical , a term given to it in the first scientific paper ...
