  2. Illusory motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_motion

    Billboards and other electronic signs use apparent motion to simulate moving text by flashing lights on and off as if the text is moving.. The term illusory motion, or motion illusion or apparent motion, refers to any optical illusion in which a static image appears to be moving due to the cognitive effects of interacting color contrasts, object shapes, and position.

  3. Gravity Probe B - Wikipedia

    Previously, only two analyses of the laser-ranging data obtained by the two LAGEOS satellites, published in 1997 and 2004, claimed to have found the frame-dragging effect with an accuracy of about 20% and 10% respectively, [9] [10] [11] whereas Gravity Probe B aimed to measure the frame dragging effect to a precision of 1%. [12]

  4. Ken Burns effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Burns_effect

    The Ken Burns effect is a type of panning and zooming effect used in film and video production from non-consecutive still images. The name derives from extensive use of the technique by American documentarian Ken Burns.

  5. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.)

  6. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    In classical physics and special relativity, an inertial frame of reference (also called an inertial space or a Galilean reference frame) is a frame of reference in which objects exhibit inertia: they remain at rest or in uniform motion relative to the frame until acted upon by external forces. In such a frame, the laws of nature can be ...

  7. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    An observational frame of reference, often referred to as a physical frame of reference, a frame of reference, or simply a frame, is a physical concept related to an observer and the observer's state of motion. Here we adopt the view expressed by Kumar and Barve: an observational frame of reference is characterized only by its state of motion. [19]

  8. Key frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_frame

    Whenever a drastic change to the image occurs, such as when switching from one camera shot to another or at a scene change, a key frame must be created. The entire image for the frame must be output when the visual difference between the two frames is so great that representing the new image incrementally from the previous frame would require ...

  9. Rigid motion segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_motion_segmentation

    In the sense of motion, rigid transform is the movement of a rigid object in space. As shown in Figure 1: this 3-D motion is the transformation from original co-ordinates (X,Y,Z) to transformed co-ordinates (X',Y',Z') which is a result of rotation and translation captured by rotational matrix R and translational vector T respectively.
