  2. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions . Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known ...

  3. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Note that linear perspective changes are caused by distance, not by the lens per se – two shots of the same scene from the same distance will exhibit identical perspective geometry, regardless of lens used. However, since wide-angle lenses have a wider field of view, they are generally used from closer, while telephoto lenses have a narrower ...

  4. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    The perceived visual angle paradigm begins with a rejection of the classical size–distance invariance hypothesis (SDIH), which states that the ratio of perceived linear size to perceived distance is a simple function of the visual angle.

  5. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    Angle of view can also be determined using FOV tables or paper or software lens calculators. [ 5 ] Log-log graphs of lens focal length vs crop factor vs equivalent focal length for 35 mm film or image sensor size (= the focal length multiplied by a crop factor) vs diagonal, horizontal and vertical angles of view for film or sensors of 3:2 and 4 ...

  6. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    an object of diameter 1 AU (149 597 871 km) at a distance of 1 parsec (pc) Thus, the angular diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun as viewed from a distance of 1 pc is 2″, as 1 AU is the mean radius of Earth's orbit. The angular diameter of the Sun, from a distance of one light-year, is 0.03″, and that of Earth 0.0003″. The angular ...

  7. 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.

  8. Stereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereopsis

    The disparity at which objects in the image best match is used by the computer to calculate their distance. For a human, the eyes change their angle according to the distance to the observed object. To a computer this represents significant extra complexity in the geometrical calculations (epipolar geometry). In fact the simplest geometrical ...

  9. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    A perspective projection of an object is often considered more realistic than a parallel projection, since it more closely resembles human vision and photography. However, parallel projections are popular in technical applications, since the parallelism of an object's lines and faces is preserved, and direct measurements can be taken from the ...
