Please add the entry alphabetically to the list. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
A
Aspect Ratio - the ratio (proportion) between height and width of an image.
B
Banding Visible steps in smooth gradients.
C
Cylindrical Projection A projection capable of mapping 360 degrees horizontally by roughly 120 degrees vertically with acceptable distortion.
Cubic Projection A subcase of the Rectilinear Projection used as the input source projection for some fully spherical panorama viewers.
D
Depth of Field The distance in front of and behind the focus distance where the image blur is not recognizable.
Dynamic Range The ratio in brightness of the brightest highlight to the darkest shadow that are accurately captured in a scene.
E
Entrance Pupil The special point that you have to rotate your camera around, to avoid parallax errors. Commonly referred to as the Nodal Point, which see for more information.
Equirectangular Projection A projection capable of mapping the entire sphere to a rectangle with 2:1 aspect ratio.
EXIF Exchangeable Image File Format. EXIF data allows camera, lens, exposure information, image description, copyright, etc. to be embedded in an image file.
F
Fisheye Projection A projection where the distance from the centre of the image to a point is proportional to the equivalent spatial angle.
G
H
Hyperfocal distance The distance on which you have to focus your lens if you want the Depth of Field to stretch to infinity.
I
J
K
L
M
N
Nodal Point The special point that you have to rotate your camera around, to avoid parallax. Also called "entrance pupil". Click the term for more info.
Nadir The point directly below
O
P
Pitch Angle up-and-down (above and below horizon). See also "Roll" and "Yaw".
Projections Different possibilities to get a two-dimensional image of the three-dimensional world around us.
PTOptimizer Panorama tools image position and correction parameters optimizer. Script driven.
PTStitcher Main panorama tools stitcher application. Script driven.
Q
R
Rectilinear Projection A projection in which every straight line in the world stays straight in the image.
Roll Rotation angle around the lens axis. See also "Pitch" and "Yaw".
S
T
U
V
Vignetting Light fall-off in the corners of images
W
X
Y
Yaw Panning angle, left-and-right. See also "Pitch" and "Roll".
