  2. Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-of-sight_propagation

    Line-of-sight propagation. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1] Electromagnetic transmission includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.

  3. Site plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_plan

    A site plan or a plot plan is a type of drawing used by architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and engineers which shows existing and proposed conditions for a given area, typically a parcel of land which is to be modified. Sites plan typically show buildings, roads, sidewalks and paths/trails, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary ...

  4. Line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_sight

    Line of sight. The line of sight, also known as visual axis or sightline (also sight line ), is an imaginary line between a viewer/ observer / spectator 's eye (s) and a subject of interest, or their relative direction. [1] The subject may be any definable object taken note of or to be taken note of by the observer, at any distance more than ...

  5. Non-line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-line-of-sight_propagation

    Non-line-of-sight ( NLOS) radio propagation occurs outside of the typical line-of-sight (LOS) between the transmitter and receiver, such as in ground reflections. Near-line-of-sight (also NLOS) conditions refer to partial obstruction by a physical object present in the innermost Fresnel zone . Obstacles that commonly cause NLOS propagation ...

  6. Iron sights - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_sights

    Iron sights. Sight picture through iron sights of an H&K MP5 submachine gun. The annular shroud around the front post sight is aligned with the rear peep sight to ensure the firearm is properly trained. Iron sights are a system of physical alignment markers (usually made of metallic material) used as a sighting device to assist the accurate ...

  7. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment through photopic vision (daytime vision), color vision, scotopic vision (night vision), and mesopic vision (twilight vision), using light in the visible spectrum reflected by objects in the environment. This is different from visual acuity, which refers to how clearly a ...

  8. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    v. t. e. In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures are constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object. Up to six pictures of an object are produced (called primary views ), with each projection plane ...

  9. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    The most characteristic features of linear perspective are that objects appear smaller as their distance from the observer increases, and that they are subject to foreshortening, meaning that an object's dimensions parallel to the line of sight appear shorter than its dimensions perpendicular to the line of sight. All objects will recede to ...
