    The vertex that is formed when two or three contours coterminate (that is, end together at the same point), in the image, i.e., an L (2 contours), fork (3 contours with all angles < 180°), or an arrow (3 contours, with one angle > 180°), and; Whether a pair of contours is parallel or not (with allowance for perspective).

    Denote by h′ a ray of the straight line a′ emanating from a point O′ of this line. Then in the plane α′ there is one and only one ray k′ such that the angle ∠ (h, k), or ∠ (k, h), is congruent to the angle ∠ (h′, k′) and at the same time all interior points of the angle ∠ (h′, k′) lie upon the given side of a′.

    Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [2] and released to the public in January 2007. [3] Quizlet's primary products include digital flash cards , matching games , practice electronic assessments , and live quizzes.

  5. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    Geometrical optics, or ray optics, is a model of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays.The ray in geometrical optics is an abstraction useful for approximating the paths along which light propagates under certain circumstances.

  6. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    The disparity of features between two stereo images are usually computed as a shift to the left of an image feature when viewed in the right image. [3] For example, a single point that appears at the x coordinate t (measured in pixels) in the left image may be present at the x coordinate t − 3 in the right image. In this case, the disparity ...

  7. Limiting parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_parallel

    The two lines through a given point P and limiting parallel to line R.. In neutral or absolute geometry, and in hyperbolic geometry, there may be many lines parallel to a given line through a point not on line ; however, in the plane, two parallels may be closer to than all others (one in each direction of ).

  8. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    In biology, the notion of symmetry is also used as in physics, that is to say to describe the properties of the objects studied, including their interactions. A remarkable property of biological evolution is the changes of symmetry corresponding to the appearance of new parts and dynamics.

  9. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    In projective geometry, duality or plane duality is a formalization of the striking symmetry of the roles played by points and lines in the definitions and theorems of projective planes. There are two approaches to the subject of duality, one through language ( § Principle of duality ) and the other a more functional approach through special ...
