  2. Picosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picosecond

    A picosecond (abbreviated as ps) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −12 or 11 000 000 000 000 (one trillionth) of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 31,688.76 years.

    1 ns: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1 GHz microprocessor 1 ns: The time light takes to travel 30 cm (11.811 in) 10 −6: microsecond: μs One millionth of one second 1 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by an Intel 80186 microprocessor 2.2 μs: The lifetime of a muon

  4. Picometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picometre

    The picometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: pm) or picometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 × 10 −12 m, or one trillionth (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 000 ⁠) of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

  5. Photometric stereo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_stereo

    The special case where the data is a single image is known as shape from shading, and was analyzed by B. K. P. Horn in 1989. [3] Photometric stereo has since been generalized to many other situations, including extended light sources and non-Lambertian surface finishes. Current research aims to make the method work in the presence of projected ...

    However, they differ in terms of their explanation of a face’s location in the space; either as a vector from a ‘norm face’, or as distance from other faces. [1] In the norm-based model, the encoding of faces is relative to a central face at the origin: a ‘norm face’. [1]

  7. Mode locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_locking

    Of more interest is the frequency separation between any two adjacent modes q and q + 1; this is given (for an empty linear resonator of length L) by Δν = c / 2L, where c is the speed of light (≈ 3×10 8 m/s). Using the above equation, a small laser with a mirror separation of 30 cm has a frequency separation between longitudinal modes of 0 ...

  8. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    Although the most common medium format film, the 120 roll, is 6 cm (2.4 in) wide, and is most commonly shot square, the most common "medium-format" digital sensor sizes are approximately 48 mm × 36 mm (1.9 in × 1.4 in), which is roughly twice the size of a full-frame DSLR sensor format.

    1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile
