  2. Dodecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecagon

    A dodecagram is a 12-sided star polygon, represented by symbol {12/n}. There is one regular star polygon : {12/5}, using the same vertices, but connecting every fifth point. There are also three compounds: {12/2} is reduced to 2{6} as two hexagons , and {12/3} is reduced to 3{4} as three squares , {12/4} is reduced to 4{3} as four triangles ...

  3. Pictometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictometry

    Pictometry is a patented aerial survey technique for producing oblique georeferenced imagery showing the fronts and sides of buildings and locations on the ground. Photos are captured by low-flying airplanes, depicting up to 12 perspectives (shot from a 40-degree angle) as well as an orthogonal (overhead) view of every location flown.

  4. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    If we first look at an object that is effectively two-dimensional (such as the writing on a card) and then turn the card to face a mirror, the object turns through an angle of 180° and we see a left-right reversal in the mirror. In this example, it is the change in orientation rather than the mirror itself that causes the observed reversal.

  5. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc. It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size S {\displaystyle S} , located in the distance D {\displaystyle D} from point O ...

  6. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    The Murray, et al. (2006) observers viewed a flat picture with two disks that subtended the same visual angle θ and formed retinal images of the same size (R), but the perceived angular size, θ′, for one disk was larger than θ′ for the other (say, 17% larger) due to differences in their background patterns. And, in cortical Area V1, the ...

  7. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    In other words, the angle of coverage is determined by the lens and the image plane while the angle of view (AOV) is decided by not only them but also the film or image sensor size. The image circle (giving the angle of coverage) produced by a lens on a given image plane is typically large enough to completely cover a film or sensor at the ...

  8. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    FOV both eyes Vertical FOV Angle of view can be measured horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The field of view (FOV) is the angular extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment. In the case of optical instruments or sensors, it is a solid angle through which a detector is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.

  9. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Simulation showing how adjusting the angle of view of a camera, while varying the camera's distance and keeping the object in frame, results in vastly differing images. At narrow angles and long distances, light rays are nearly parallel, resulting in a "flattened" image. At wide angles and short distances, objects appear foreshortened or distorted.
