  2. Wikipedia : Featured picture candidates/Mug and Torus morph.gif

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture...

    I think it shows well enough how the mug and the torus are topologically equivalent, and it just requires a little bit of thought to figure that the bottom of the cup is rising to the top in order to make the overall shape convex for a smooth transition, and it seems that once the average person realizes this the whole concept of topological ...

  3. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object. Examples of real images include the image produced on a detector in the rear of a camera, and the image produced on an eyeball retina (the camera and eye focus light through an internal convex lens).

  4. Viewing frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum

    A view frustum The appearance of an object in a pyramid of vision When creating a parallel projection, the viewing frustum is shaped like a box as opposed to a pyramid.. In 3D computer graphics, a viewing frustum [1] or view frustum [2] is the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen; it is the field of view of a perspective virtual camera system.

  5. Photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens_design

    The lenses of the very earliest cameras were simple meniscus or simple bi convex lenses. It was not until 1840 that Chevalier in France introduced the achromatic lens formed by cementing a crown glass bi-convex lens to a flint glass plano-concave lens.

  6. Schmidt camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_camera

    The camera was focused in the factory and was made of materials with low expansion coefficients so it would never need to be focused in the field. Early models required the photographer to cut and develop individual frames of 35 mm film, as the film holder could only hold one frame of film. About 300 Celestron Schmidt cameras were produced.

  7. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    Bottom: The formation of a virtual image using a convex mirror. In both diagrams, f is the focal point, O is the object, and I is the virtual image, shown in grey. Solid blue lines indicate (real) light rays and dashed blue lines indicate backward extension of the real rays.

  9. Back-face culling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-face_culling

    For example, in a city street scene, there is generally no need to draw the polygons on the sides of the buildings facing away from the camera; they are completely occluded by the sides facing the camera. In general, back-face culling can be assumed to produce no visible artifact in a rendered scene if it contains only closed and opaque geometry.
