A word taken in its dictionary meaning, a photographic image of a recognizable object, the mere picturing of a `` scene '' tends to lose experiential vividness and to connote such conventional abstractions as to invite neutral reception without the incitement of value feelings.

The scene in which, returning to her apartment, Bardot's character is harangued in the elevator by a middle-aged cleaning lady calling her offensive names, was based on an actual incident, and is a resonant image of celebrity in the mid-20th century.

In 1877 a green silhouette was used to create a ghostlike image ; ten years later a trick chair was used to allow an actor to appear in the middle of the scene, and then again from the midst of the audience.

Sub-domains of computer vision include scene reconstruction, event detection, video tracking, object recognition, learning, indexing, motion estimation, and image restoration.

Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model ( or models in what collectively could be called a scene file ), by means of computer programs.

The data contained in the scene file is then passed to a rendering program to be processed and output to a digital image or raster graphics image file.

Though the technical details of rendering methods vary, the general challenges to overcome in producing a 2D image from a 3D representation stored in a scene file are outlined as the graphics pipeline along a rendering device, such as a GPU.

Therefore, four loose families of more-efficient light transport modelling techniques have emerged: rasterization, including scanline rendering, geometrically projects objects in the scene to an image plane, without advanced optical effects ; ray casting considers the scene as observed from a specific point-of-view, calculating the observed image based only on geometry and very basic optical laws of reflection intensity, and perhaps using Monte Carlo techniques to reduce artifacts ; and ray tracing is similar to ray casting, but employs more advanced optical simulation, and usually uses Monte Carlo techniques to obtain more realistic results at a speed that is often orders of magnitude slower.

Another distinction is between image order algorithms, which iterate over pixels of the image plane, and object order algorithms, which iterate over objects in the scene.

Spiral Sphere and Julia, Detail, a computer-generated image created by visual artist Robert W. McGregor using only POV-Ray 3. 6 and its built-in scene description language.

The current state of the art in 3-D image description for movie creation is the mental ray scene description language designed at mental images and the RenderMan shading language designed at Pixar .< ref >

Marker also reminds the reader that only one short scene in La Jetée is of a moving image, as Marker could only borrow a movie camera for one afternoon while working on the film.

In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, depth of field ( DOF ) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

The rave scene changed dance music, the image of DJs, and the nature of promoting.

Performing alpha blending is an expensive operation if performed on an entire image or 3D scene.

Likewise, the vision, which appeared within a circular vignette or matte, was similarly superimposed over a black area in the backdrop to the scene, rather than over a part of the set with detail in it, so that nothing appeared through the image, which seemed quite solid.

This meant that the actors played a scene up to a line marked on the ground nine feet from the camera lens, which meant that they were shown cut off at the waist in the image.

Whenever a drastic change to the image occurs, such as when switching from one camera shot to another, or at a scene change, a keyframe must be created.

* Key light, the primary light source that illuminates an image or scene

Today, the beauty of a wall mural has become much more widely available with a technique whereby a painting or photographic image is transferred to poster paper or canvas which is then pasted to a wall surface ( see wallpaper, Frescography ) to give the effect of either a hand-painted mural or realistic scene.

Going back over this ground and analyzing the composition of forces which have created the present scene is one of the tasks undertaken by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, in Santa Barbara.

Once the scene is set, Trevelyan skilfully builds up the tense story until it reaches its climax in the dramatic victory of Marlborough and Eugene of Savoy at Blenheim.

The scene is etched in sharp detail, the military problems brilliantly explained, and the excitement and importance of the battle made evident.

Today the recreational boating scene is awash with heartening statistics which prove the enormous growth of that sport.

For what I express in my remark is something going on in me at the time, and that of course did not exist until I did come on the scene.

Whosever fault, it is evident that Brumidi intended to fill out the whole frieze with his `` histories '' and come full circle with the scene of the discovery of California gold.

Curiously, this scene is a close parallel to one that Verdi was writing at the same time, the scene between Amonasro and Aida.

We have a brief glimpse of the Tsar's public personality, the `` official Boris '', but our real focus is on the excitement of the crowd -- a significant contrast with its halfhearted acclamation in the opening scene, its bitter resentment and fury in the final act.

One of the outstanding assets of the present production is the restoration of the St. Basil's scene, usually omitted from performances and rarely included in a published score.

The scene before you is indeed theatrical and often appears in movies about Rome.

One of these is the `` dissolve '', which makes possible a visually smooth transition from scene to scene.

Each scene is shot straight through, as had been the universal custom, from a camera fixed in a single position, but in the outdoor scenes, especially in the capture and destruction of the outlaws, Porter's camera position breaks, necessarily, with the camera position standard until then, which had been, roughly, that of a spectator in a center orchestra seat at a play.

The plane of the action in the scene is not parallel with the plane of the film in the camera or on the screen.

`` The world is full of blokes who put their hearts into making the tragic scene.

Even for those who have been observing the political scene a long time, no script from the past is worth very much in gazing into the state's immediate political future.

Aside from a quaint concern with witches and devils which provides the immediate problem in the opening scene, it is a quite normal community.

This scene is a `` white ballet '' in which a lovelorn hero searches for his departed love's spirit among twenty-eight extraordinarily beautiful `` shadows '' who can all dance like nothing human -- which, of course, is altogether fitting.

It is commendable that a regularly scheduled hour is set aside for an introduction to the contemporary musical scene.

Most of what is said about his great men of history has already been said, and what has not is largely irrelevant to the contemporary scene.

But we never know how long a scene is going to take ''.

Because his exposures were not simultaneous, unsteady subjects exhibited color " fringes " or, if rapidly moving through the scene, appeared as brightly colored ghosts in the resulting projected or printed images.

Optical camouflage is a kind of active camouflage in which one wears a fabric which has an image of the scene directly behind the wearer projected onto it, so that the wearer appears invisible.

In aircraft where two pilots are seated side by side, if the OTW imagery were projected in front of the pilots on a screen, one pilot would see the correct view but the other would see a view where some objects in the scene would be at incorrect angles.

These apparent distortions are more pronounced away from the center of the image as the angle between a projected ray ( from the scene to the eye ) becomes more acute relative to the picture plane.

In the same way, by using a spherical picture surface, the field of view can be a full 360 degrees in any direction ( note that for a spherical surface, all projected rays from the scene to the eye intersect the surface at a right angle ).

Just as a standard perspective image must be viewed from the calculated vantage point for the image to appear identical to the true scene, a projected image onto a cylinder or sphere must likewise be viewed from the calculated vantage point for it to be precisely identical to the original scene.

To emphasize that each type of cell by itself did not actually see color but was simply more or less stimulated, he drew an analogy to black-and-white photography: if three colorless photographs of the same scene were taken through red, green and blue filters, and transparencies (" slides ") made from them were projected through the same filters and superimposed on a screen, the result would be an image reproducing not only red, green and blue, but all of the colors in the original scene.

The scene image is then projected onto the back side of the plate, while the low-velocity electron beam scans the photoelectric mosaic at the front side.

Before the advent of Bass ’ s title sequences in the 1950s, titles were generally static, separate from the movie, and it was common for them to be projected onto the cinema curtains, the curtains only being raised right before the first scene of the movie.

Three-dimensional imagery is perceived due to persistence of vision, in that a collection of voxels is projected at different locations within the volume over a time period such as 1 / 30 sec ; they are visually integrated into one reconstructed 3-D scene.

For example, the 3D scene is computationally decomposed into a series of " slices ," which can be rectangular, disc-shaped, or helical cross-sectioned, whereupon they are projected onto or from a display surface undergoing motion.

The ending itself was completely redone, with the removal of the Space Station scene located in the attraction's planetarium ( the astronauts from the scene subsequently turned up in Space Mountain's post-show, where they were used until 2009 ), replacement of an old projected image of Earth in the planetarium with a new image, and replacement of the 1982 and 1986 ending scenes of the ride with miniature architectural settings connected by color-changing fiber optic cables and arrays of blinking lights representing electronic communication pathways.

The depth map is then projected onto it using standard projective texture mapping and the scene re-rendered.

A ray is projected from the surface to the scene in a bouncing path that terminates when a light source is intersected.

IntroVision is a front projection composite photography system using a pair of perpendicular reflex screens to combine two projected scenes with a scene staged live before the camera in a single shot.
