Example Sentences:

  • (1) Contour positions are corrected for pincushion distortion.
  • (2) Previously reported and novel correction techniques were used to reduce veiling glare, pincushion distortion, dc bias, and residual shading effects.
  • (3) The pincushion distortion can be "corrected" (reducing displacements from 5 to 1-2 mm) by calculations based on modeling the distortion as a fourth order two-dimensional polynomial.
  • (4) 7) conglomerated into pincushion-like formations becoming increasingly denser and more compact.
  • (5) While the standard design often results in tissue protrusions or pincushioning, improvements in the design are outlined herein to achieve the best results for defects on the nose.
  • (6) No more 'pincushioning' - if you worried Cinema screens are often curved due to the way the picture is projected onto the screen.
  • (7) The pincushion distortion can be "corrected" (reducing displacements from 2-3 mm to 1 mm) by calculations based on modeling the distortion as a fourth order 2D polynomial.
  • (8) If necessary, these errors in position can be assessed by means of two phantoms placed within the stereotactic guidance system--a "2D-phantom" displaying "pincushion" distortion in the image, and a "3D-phantom" displaying displacement, warp, and tilt of the image plane itself.
  • (9) The illusion generated by a "pincushion grid" is not predicted from the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the grid.
  • (10) The picture will seem to warp inwards - a distortion called the pincushion effect.
  • (11) Magnification errors can be evaluated easily but the distortion (due to pincushion effect) are more difficult to measure.
  • (12) We spent a small fortune on three stabs at fertility treatment at a clinic in Cape Town, but that produced nothing other than a suntan and buttocks like pincushions after daily injections of hormones.
  • (13) These errors in position can be assessed by means of two phantoms placed within the stereotactic guidance system--a "two-dimensional phantom" displaying "pincushion" distortion in the image (i.e., x, y) plane, and the "three-dimensional phantom" displaying displacement, warp, and tilt of the image plane itself.
  • (14) A numerical Fourier transform was made of the pincushion grid illusion and the spectral components orthogonal to the illusory lines were isolated.
  • (15) To minimize the geometric influence, mainly pincushion effect, a cinefilm of a 1 cm grid was placed against the input screen of the image intensifier to correct the distortion by using 3rd degree polynomials.
  • (16) As Ian prepares for the half-mile-long return journey, he points a fistful of oily cotton waste towards the purple thistle-like flowerheads of knapweed, the pink, white and blue pincushion-shaped flowers of scabious, and the vivid blue of cornflower.
  • (17) The interface-controller operates extremely well, but problems related to the pulsed SIT (optimum gate position relative to the sector opening shape of high-voltage pulse, slight pincushion distortion) require more work.
