  2. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1] It is often useful to render picture ...

  3. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Transparency and translucency. Dichroic filters are created using optically transparent materials. In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. On a macroscopic scale (one in which the dimensions are ...

  4. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    Transparency (graphic) GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats. The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.

  5. Photographic film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_film

    Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals. The sizes and other characteristics of the crystals determine the sensitivity, contrast, and resolution of the film. [ 1 ] Film is typically segmented in frames, that ...

  6. Image segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_segmentation

    The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. [1][2] Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries (lines, curves, etc.) in images. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in ...

  7. Perceptual transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_transparency

    Perceptual transparency. Perceptual transparency is the phenomenon of seeing one surface behind another. In our everyday life, we often experience the view of objects through transparent surfaces. Physically transparent surfaces allow the transmission of a certain amount of light rays through them. Sometimes nearly the totality of rays is ...

  8. Photogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogram

    A photogram of a number of photography-related objects. Photogram with soil and plants. A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations ...

  9. Lenticular printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_printing

    Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. Examples include flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern advertising graphics whose ...
