The Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE or Explorer 78) is a NASA MIDEX mission that is studying the global response of the Earth's magnetosphere to changes in the solar wind. It was launched March 3, 2000 by a Delta II from Vandenberg AFB. It is in orbit 1000 km by 46,000 km orbit around the Earth, with an inclination of 90° (so it passes over the poles) and a 14.5 hour period. IMAGE is the first spacecraft dedicated to observing the magnetosphere of Earth and produces comprehensive globa ...

Virtual image is a term used in optics and physics. It is a representation of an actual object (source) formed by diverging rays of light which seem to originate from the image, but in reality do not cross at that position. A screen or an observer placed where a virtual image appears to be cannot actually "see" it. For example, a plane or convex mirror forms a virtual image positioned behind the mirror. Although rays of light seem to come from behind the mirror, light from the so ...

Anaglyph images are produced using color filters or computer image processing techniques to combine images from two slightly different viewpoints into a single image. These images may then be viewed with "anaglyph glasses", which use color filters to moderate the light reaching each eye to create the illusion of a three dimensional image. This is an example of stereoscopy. Anaglyph images have seen a recent resurgence due to the presentation of images on the internet, coupled with the availability of low cost paper frames that hold ac ...

Perceived body image is not necessarily related to any objective measure or the average opinion of other people; a person who has a poor body image may be rated as beautiful by others, and a person with a good body image may be rated as unattractive by others.

An image is said to be burned when its original gamut considerably exceeds the target gamut, or when the result of processing considerably exceeds the image's gamut. In other words, an image is burned when it contains uniform blobs of color, black, or white where there should actually be detail. All known mediums for storing or capturing images at this time, analog or digital, are unable to store an unlimited number of color hues, and they are bound to a certain gamut. Squeezing an image with a given gamut into a medium with a ...

A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. Raw (as in not yet "cooked") files are so named because they are not yet processed and ready to use by a bitmap graphics editor, printed, or displayed by a typical web browser. The image must be processed and converted to an RGB format such as TIFF or JPEG before it can be manipulated. Nearly all digital cameras can process the image from the sensor into a JPEG file using settings for white balance, color saturation, c ...

Color digital images are made of pixels, and pixels are made of combinations of primary colors. A channel in this context is the grayscale image of the same size as a color image, made of just one of these primary colors. For instance, an image from a standard digital camera will have a red, green and blue channel. A grayscale image has just one channel. In the digital realm, there can be any number of conventional primary colors making up an image; a channel in this case is extended to be the grayscale image based on any such conventional primary color. By extension, a channel is any grayscale image ...

The aspect ratio of an image is its displayed width divided by its height (usually expressed as "x:y"). For instance, the aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or 1.33:1. High definition television uses an aspect of 16:9, or about 1.78:1. Aspect ratios of 2.39:1 (2.35:1 prior to SMPTE revision in 1970) or 1.85:1 are frequently used in cinematography, while the aspect ratio of a sync-sound 35 mm film frame is around 1.37:1 (also known as "Academy" ratio). Silent films which used the full fr ...

IMAGES (symbols of the Goddess or God): that which is chosen by a group or individual to represent or symbolize an aspect of the divine by its appropriateness. Such objects must be exactly right in every way. One reveres the Goddess or the God which is symbolized thereby, rather than the statue, shell, tree, horns or whatever, which is the icon.
