  2. Fisheye lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens

    A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. [4][5]: 145 Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angles of view, well beyond any rectilinear lens. Instead of producing images with straight lines of perspective (rectilinear images), fisheye lenses use ...

  3. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

    Fish retinas generally have both rod cells and cone cells (for scotopic and photopic vision), and most species have colour vision. Some fish can see ultraviolet and some are sensitive to polarised light. Among jawless fishes, the lamprey [1] has well-developed eyes, while the hagfish has only primitive eyespots. [2]

  4. History of photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic...

    A fisheye lens is a special type of ultra-wide angle retrofocus lens with little or no attempt to correct for rectilinear distortion. Most fisheyes produce a circular image with a 180° field of view. The term fisheye comes from the supposition that a fish looking up at the sky would see in the same way. [1]: 145

  5. Minolta Fish-Eye Rokkor 16mm f/2.8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_Fish-Eye_Rokkor_16...

    The Fish-Eye Rokkor 16mm f/2.8 is a prime fisheye lens produced by Minolta for Minolta SR-mount single lens reflex cameras, introduced in 1969 to replace an earlier fisheye lens, the UW Rokkor 18mm f/9.5. It is a full-frame fisheye lens with a 180° viewing angle across the diagonal. This lens was licensed by Leitz and released for Leica R ...

  6. Hemispherical photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_photography

    Hemispherical photograph used to study microclimate of winter roosting habitat at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico.. Hemispherical photography, also known as canopy photography, is a technique to estimate solar radiation and characterize plant canopy geometry using photographs taken looking upward through an extreme wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens (Rich 1990).

  7. Panoramic photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoramic_photography

    Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in ...

  8. Four-eyed fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-eyed_fish

    Four-eyed fish. The four-eyed fishes are a genus, Anableps, of fishes in the family Anablepidae. They have eyes raised above the top of the head and divided in two different parts, so that they can see below and above the water surface at the same time. The optomotor response or OMR has been used as a test to investigate potential differential ...
