    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_(dog)

    Personality traits of dogs affect both their ability to be successfully trained and their ability to successfully track. Dogs that are more active and confident tend to perform better during training activities and tracking activities. [12] The mannerisms of the handler [13] working with the dog can also affect tracking ability.

  3. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    An optically ideal 10× sight in this example has been perfectly parallax corrected at 1,000 meters (1,094 yd) and functions flawlessly at that distance. If the same sight is used at 100 meters (109 yd) the target picture would be projected (1000 m / 100 m) / 100 mm = 0.1 mm behind the reticle plane.

  4. Sighting in - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sighting_in

    Sighting in a firearm is an important test of the ability of the firearm user to hit anticipated targets with available ammunition. Pictures or silhouettes of intended targets are less suitable for sighting in than high contrast shapes compatible with the type of sights on the firearm. Contrasting circles are commonly used as sighting in ...

    Soldier observed at 400 m: The stadiametric rangefinder in the bottom-left corner of the PSO-1 telescopic sight reticle can be used to determine the distance from a 1.70-meter (5 ft 7 in) tall person or object from 200 m (bracket number 2 to the right) to 1,000 m (bracket number 10 to the left).

  6. Stereoscopic acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_acuity

    Example of a Snellen-like depth test. Since the Howard-Dolman test described above is cumbersome, stereoacuity is usually measured using a stereogram in which separate panels are shown to each eye by superimposing them in a stereoscope using prisms or goggles with color or polarizing filters or alternating occlusion. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia_in_animals

    Preliminary laboratory investigations using retinoscopy of 240 dogs [4] found myopic problems with varying degrees of refraction errors depending on the breed. In cases involving German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Miniature horses, the refraction errors were indicative of myopia. Nuclear sclerosis of the crystalline lens was noticed in older ...

  9. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Thus, visual acuity, or resolving power (in daylight, central vision), is the property of cones. [25] To resolve detail, the eye's optical system has to project a focused image on the fovea , a region inside the macula having the highest density of cone photoreceptor cells (the only kind of photoreceptors existing in the fovea's very center of ...
