(n.) A distorted or monstrous projection or representation of an image on a plane or curved surface, which, when viewed from a certain point, or as reflected from a curved mirror or through a polyhedron, appears regular and in proportion; a deformation of an image.
(n.) Same as Anamorphism, 2.
(n.) A morbid or monstrous development, or change of form, or degeneration.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results showed that: (1) there was no significant difference depending on type of stimulus, indicating that the computability of the cross-ratio is not a necessary condition for the execution of the task; (2) the more the observer moved away from the projection axis, the more evident the distortion of the stimulus appeared, in accordance with what happens when observing an anamorphosis; (3) when the metamorphosis from rigid motion to elastic motion was seen the visual angle subtended to the stimulus was constant for all distances from the projection axis, in accordance with the hypothesis of rigidity.
(2) Simultaneously there are certain differences for a temperature dependence (the bend position in the Arrhenius anamorphosis) of the solubilized enzyme and its sensitivity to the action of strophanthin K.
Anorthoscope
Definition:
(n.) An optical toy for producing amusing figures or pictures by means of two revolving disks, on one of which distorted figures are painted.
Example Sentences:
(1) 2, in which a wider slit was used, anorthoscopic images appeared immediately after a pattern entered and left the slit.
(2) Under such anorthoscopic conditions, the speed or direction of the object's motion is ambiguous.
(3) This result constitutes a new finding in connection with both anorthoscopic perception and the perception of structure-from-motion.
(4) Two experiments were performed to examine where anorthoscopic images appear.
