  2. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    Consider an example illustrated by the sketch at the right. Suppose one is looking through a window at a 30-foot-wide (9.1 m) house 240 feet away, so it subtends a visual angle of about 7 degrees. The 30-inch-wide (760 mm) window opening is 10 feet away, so it subtends a visual angle of 14 degrees.

  3. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc. It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size S {\displaystyle S} , located in the distance D {\displaystyle D} from point O ...

  4. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    For example, for a disparity of 1, the patch in the left image would be compared to a similar-sized patch in the right, shifted to the left by one pixel. The comparison between these two patches can be made by attaining a computational measure from one of the following equations that compares each of the pixels in the patches.

  5. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    Example problem based on Shepard & Metzlar's "Mental Rotation Task": are these two three-dimensional shapes identical when rotated? Mental rotation is the ability to rotate mental representations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects as it is related to the visual representation of such rotation within the human mind. [1]

  6. Boundary extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_extension

    Simple BE photos with varying degrees of zoom. There are many possible causes of boundary extension. For example, source monitoring errors, [16] [2] perceptual schemas, [11] and visual memory [4] all partially can contribute to boundary extension because they are all related to how photos are initially processed and then later remembered.

  7. Camera angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_angle

    Where the camera is placed in relation to the subject can affect the way the viewer perceives the subject. Some of these many camera angles are the high-angle shot, low-angle shot, bird's-eye view, and worm's-eye view. A viewpoint is the apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject. [2]

  8. Visual field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field

    The macula corresponds to the central 17 degrees diameter of the visual field; the fovea to the central 5.2 degrees, and the foveola to 1–1.2 degrees diameter. [10] [11] [12] Note that in the clinical literature the fovea can refer to the central 1–1.2 deg, i.e. what is otherwise known as the foveola, and can be referred to as the "clinical ...

  9. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    A starling, for example, has laterally placed eyes to cover a wide field of view, but can also move them together to point to the front so their fields overlap giving stereopsis. A remarkable example is the chameleon, whose eyes appear as if mounted on turrets, each moving independently of the other, up or down, left or right. Nevertheless, the ...
