    Pulfrich in 1889. Carl P. Pulfrich (September 24, 1858 in Burscheid, Rhine Province, Kingdom of Prussia – August 12, 1927 in Baltic Sea, drowned when his canoe capsized) was a German physicist, noted for advancements in optics made as a researcher for the Carl Zeiss company in Jena around 1880, and for documenting the Pulfrich effect, [1] a psycho-optical phenomenon that can be used to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangefinder

    In 1899, Carl Pulfrich at Carl Zeiss AG fabricated a practical stereoscopic rangefinder, [6] based on a patent of Hector Alexander de Grousilliers. [ 7 ] World War II -era rangefinders worked optically with two telescopes focused on the same target but a distance apart along a baseline.

  4. Pulfrich effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulfrich_effect

    The Pulfrich effect has been utilized to enable a type of stereoscopy, or 3-D visual effect, in visual media such as film and TV. As in other kinds of stereoscopy, glasses are used to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image. By placing a neutral filter (e.g., the darkened lens from a pair of sunglasses) over one eye, an image, as it ...

  5. Coincidence rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_rangefinder

    A coincidence rangefinder or coincidence telemeter is a type of rangefinder that uses the principle of triangulation and an optical device to allow an operator to determine the distance to a visible object. There are subtypes split-image telemeter, inverted image, or double-image telemeter with different principles how two images in a single ...

  6. Stereoscopic rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_rangefinder

    A stereoscopic rangefinder or stereoscopic telemeter[1] is an optical device that measures distance from the observer to a target, using the observer's capability of binocular vision. It looks similar to a coincidence rangefinder, which uses different principles and has only one eyepiece. German instruments tended to use the stereoscopic ...

  7. Mathematical discussion of rangekeeping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_discussion_of...

    The process of keeping track of where the ship was likely to be was called rangekeeping, because the distance to the target—the range—was a very important factor in aiming the guns accurately. As time passed, train (also called bearing), the direction to the target, also became part of rangekeeping, but tradition kept the term alive.
