  2. Confusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion

    In Psychology, confusion is the quality or emotional state of being bewildered or unclear. The term "acute mental confusion" [ 1 ] is often used interchangeably with delirium [ 2 ] in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and the Medical Subject Headings publications to describe the pathology .

  3. Circle of confusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion

    To calculate the diameter of the circle of confusion in the image plane for an out-of-focus subject, one method is to first calculate the diameter of the blur circle in a virtual image in the object plane, which is simply done using similar triangles, and then multiply by the magnification of the system, which is calculated with the help of the ...

  4. Depth of field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

    The points in focus (2) project points onto the image plane (5), but points at different distances (1 and 3) project blurred images, or circles of confusion. Decreasing the aperture size ( 4 ) reduces the size of the blur spots for points not in the focused plane, so that the blurring is imperceptible, and all points are within the DOF .

  5. Conflation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflation

    The latter expression paints a picture of someone ("a kid") who is extraordinarily happy and excited, whereas the former brings to mind the image of a person ("a bull") who is extremely clumsy, indelicate, not suited to a certain environment, prone to act recklessly, or easily provoked. The conflation expresses both of these ideas at the same time.

  6. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    The image at the sagittal focus is a short line, oriented in the direction of the tangential plane; images of spokes radiating from the center are sharp at this focus. In between these two foci, a round but "blurry" image is formed. This is called the medial focus or circle of least confusion. This plane often represents the best compromise ...

  7. Hyperfocal distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance

    The distinction between the two meanings is rarely made, since they have almost identical values. The value computed according to the first definition exceeds that from the second by just one focal length. Definition 1 The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably ...

  8. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    For infinitely distant objects the radius Of the chromatic disk of confusion is proportional to the linear aperture, and independent of the focal length (vide supra, Monochromatic Aberration of the Axis Point); and since this disk becomes the less harmful with an increasing image of a given object, or with increasing focal length, it follows ...

  9. Confusion and diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_and_diffusion

    Its confusion look-up tables are very non-linear and good at destroying patterns. [14] Its diffusion stage spreads every part of the input to every part of the output: changing one bit of input changes half the output bits on average. Both confusion and diffusion are repeated multiple times for each input to increase the amount of scrambling.
