  2. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    One can also speak of the motion of images, shapes, and boundaries. In general, the term motion signifies a continuous change in the position or configuration of a physical system in space. For example, one can talk about the motion of a wave or the motion of a quantum particle, where the configuration consists of the probabilities of the wave ...

  3. Illusory motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_motion

    Stroboscopic images is where a series of static images are viewed in sequence at a high enough rate that the static images appear to blend into a continuous motion. An example of this is a motion picture. Optical art (or Op art.) is when artists use simple black and white patterns that create vivid illusions of motion, which are known as ...

  4. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge made in 1884 and 1885 at the University of Pennsylvania, to study motion in animals (including humans).

  6. 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).

  7. Stereoscopic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_motion

    Stereoscopic motion, as introduced by Béla Julesz in his book Foundations of Cyclopean Perception of 1971, is a translational motion of figure boundaries defined by changes in binocular disparity over time [1] in a real-life 3D scene, a 3D film or other stereoscopic scene.

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematics is used in astrophysics to describe the motion of celestial bodies and collections of such bodies. In mechanical engineering, robotics, and biomechanics, [7] kinematics is used to describe the motion of systems composed of joined parts (multi-link systems) such as an engine, a robotic arm or the human skeleton.
