  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The user may choose to replace the inclination angle by its complement, the elevation angle (or altitude angle), measured upward between the reference plane and the radial line—i.e., from the reference plane upward (towards to the positive z-axis) to the radial line. The depression angle is the negative of the elevation angle.

    Angle of view. Describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. APEX: Additive system of photographic exposure. A system to aid calculation of correct exposures, developed in the 1960s. Some aspects are included in Exif. [5] APS-C

  4. Golden triangle (composition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_triangle_(composition)

    The golden triangle rule is a rule of thumb in visual composition for photographs or paintings, especially those which have elements that follow diagonal lines. The frame is divided into four triangles of two different sizes, done by drawing one diagonal from one corner to another, and then two lines from the other corners, touching the first ...

  5. Strike and dip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_and_dip

    A feature's strike is the azimuth of an imagined horizontal line across the plane, and its dip is the angle of inclination (or depression angle) measured downward from horizontal. [1] They are used together to measure and document a structure's characteristics for study or for use on a geologic map . [ 2 ]

    Comparison of several types of graphical projection, including elevation and plan views. To render each such picture, a ray of sight (also called a projection line, projection ray or line of sight) towards the object is chosen, which determines on the object various points of interest (for instance, the points that are visible when looking at the object along the ray of sight); those points of ...

  7. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    α = angle of inclination. The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number ...

  9. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Another result of using a wide-angle lens is a greater apparent perspective distortion when the camera is not aligned perpendicularly to the subject: parallel lines converge at the same rate as with a normal lens, but converge more due to the wider total field. For example, buildings appear to be falling backwards much more severely when the ...
