  3. Image (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_(mathematics)

    The image of the function is the set of all output values it may produce, that is, the image of . The preimage of f {\displaystyle f} , that is, the preimage of Y {\displaystyle Y} under f {\displaystyle f} , always equals X {\displaystyle X} (the domain of f {\displaystyle f} ); therefore, the former notion is rarely used.

  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.

  5. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

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

    Perspective images are created with reference to a particular center of vision for the picture plane. In order for the resulting image to appear identical to the original scene, a viewer must view the image from the exact vantage point used in the calculations relative to the image. When viewed from a different point, this cancels out what ...

  6. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    The vanishing point theorem is the principal theorem in the science of perspective. It says that the image in a picture plane π of a line L in space, not parallel to the picture, is determined by its intersection with π and its vanishing point. Some authors have used the phrase, "the image of a line includes its vanishing point".

  8. Optical transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transfer_function

    The optical transfer function is thus readily obtained by first acquiring the image of a point source, and applying the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform to the sampled image. Such a point-source can, for example, be a bright light behind a screen with a pin hole, a fluorescent or metallic microsphere, or simply a dot painted on a ...

  9. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_point_(optics)

    The image of an object confined to a plane normal to the axis is geometrically similar to the object. In some optical systems imaging is stigmatic for one or perhaps a few object points, but to be an ideal system imaging must be stigmatic for every object point. In an ideal system, every object point maps to a different image point.
