  2. 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 ...

  3. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle of a sphere measured from any point in its interior is 4 π sr. The solid angle subtended at the center of a cube by one of its faces is one-sixth of that, or 2 π /3 sr. The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [1]

  4. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    Let R be the radius of the arc which forms part of the perimeter of the segment, θ the central angle subtending the arc in radians, c the chord length, s the arc length, h the sagitta of the segment, d the apothem of the segment, and a the area of the segment. Usually, chord length and height are given or measured, and sometimes the arc length ...

  5. Heightmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap

    A heightmap contains one channel interpreted as a distance of displacement or "height" from the "floor" of a surface and sometimes visualized as luma of a grayscale image, with black representing minimum height and white representing maximum height. When the map is rendered, the designer can specify the amount of displacement for each unit of ...

  6. Forced perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_perspective

    The subtended angle increases as the object moves closer to the lens. Two objects with different actual size have the same apparent size when they subtend the same angle. Similarly, two objects of the same actual size can have drastically varying apparent size when they are moved to different distances from the lens. [13]

  7. Subtended angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtended_angle

    By extension, an angle subtended by a more complex geometric figure may be defined in terms of the figure's convex hull and its diameter; for example, the angle subtended by a tree as viewed in a camera (see angular size). [1] A subtended plane angle can also be defined for any two arbitrary isolated points and a vertex, as in two lines of ...

  8. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    Aside from the Orthographic, six standard principal views (Front; Right Side; Left Side; Top; Bottom; Rear), descriptive geometry strives to yield four basic solution views: the true length of a line (i.e., full size, not foreshortened), the point view (end view) of a line, the true shape of a plane (i.e., full size to scale, or not ...

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    For instance, the target orientation can be reached as follows (note the reversed order of Euler angle application): The XYZ system rotates about the z axis by γ. The X axis is now at angle γ with respect to the x axis. The XYZ system rotates again, but this time about the x axis by β. The Z axis is now at angle β with respect to the z axis.
