  2. Point process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_process

    The simplest and most ubiquitous example of a point process is the Poisson point process, which is a spatial generalisation of the Poisson process. A Poisson (counting) process on the line can be characterised by two properties : the number of points (or events) in disjoint intervals are independent and have a Poisson distribution. A Poisson ...

  3. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    The vanishing point may also be referred to as the "direction point", as lines having the same directional vector, say D, will have the same vanishing point. Mathematically, let q ≡ ( x , y , f ) be a point lying on the image plane, where f is the focal length (of the camera associated with the image), and let v q ≡ ( ⁠ x / h ⁠ , ⁠ y ...

  4. Point (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)

    In geometry, a point is an abstract idealization of an exact position, without size, in physical space, [1] or its generalization to other kinds of mathematical spaces.As zero-dimensional objects, points are usually taken to be the fundamental indivisible elements comprising the space, of which one-dimensional curves, two-dimensional surfaces, and higher-dimensional objects consist; conversely ...

  5. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Examples of two-point perspective [ edit ] A cube in three-points perspective where, compared with the above cube in two-points prospective, there is an additional vanishing point far below the cube, from which straight lines come that are coincident with vertical edges of the cube.

  6. Mathematics and art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_art

    Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts. Mathematics and art have a long historical ...

  7. Picture plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_plane

    In painting, photography, graphical perspective and descriptive geometry, a picture plane is an image plane located between the "eye point" (or oculus) and the object being viewed and is usually coextensive to the material surface of the work.

  8. Point process operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_process_operation

    The thinning operation entails using some predefined rule to remove points from a point process to form a new point process .These thinning rules may be deterministic, that is, not random, which is the case for one of the simplest rules known as -thinning: [1] each point of is independently removed (or kept) with some probability (or ).

  9. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    For example, lines traced from the eye point at 45° to the picture plane intersect the latter along a circle whose radius is the distance of the eye point from the plane, thus tracing that circle aids the construction of all the vanishing points of 45° lines; in particular, the intersection of that circle with the horizon line consists of two ...
