3D [tridimensional] video is a generic term for a display technology that allows viewers to experience video content with stereoscopic effect. 3D video provides an illusion of a third dimension(e. g., depth) to current video display technology, which is typically limited to only height and width(2D) [bidimensional]. A 3D device works much like 3D at a movie theater. A screen showing 3D content concurrently displays two separate images of a same object... One image(right image) is intended for a viewer's right eye(R) and is captured by using R-camera... The other image(left image) is intended for the left eye(L) and is captured by using L-camera...

L'anaglyphe est une image qui peut être vue en trois dimensions à l'aide de filtres de couleur (placés devant les yeux de l'utilisateur). Il se base sur le principe de la stéréoscopie qui permet de capter une perception du relief grâce à deux images homologues représentant la même scène mais vue de points légèrement décalés. L'anaglyphe a longtemps été utilisé pour créer des images ou des vidéos en trois dimensions.

CONT

Les vidéos 3D [tridimensionnelles] sont considérées comme l'évolution de la télévision conventionnelle actuelle. Le changement radical attendu est comparé à celui qu'occasionna l'introduction de la couleur à la télévision. Aujourd'hui, l'innovation majeure vient de l'apport de l'impression de profondeur générée par l'exploitation du phénomène de stéréopsie (perception de la profondeur de champ relative de deux stimuli présentés dans le champ visuel).

The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index(FWI) System consists of six components that account for the effects of fuel moisture and weather conditions on fire behavior. The first three components are fuel moisture codes, which are numeric ratings of the moisture content of the forest floor and other dead organic matter. Their values rise as the moisture content decreases. There is one fuel moisture code for each of three layers of fuel : litter and other fine fuels; loosely compacted organic layers of moderate depth; and deep, compact organic layers. The remaining three components are fire behavior indices, which represent the rate of fire spread, the fuel available for combustion, and the frontal fire intensity; these three values rise as the fire danger increases.

Il existe un indice d’humidité des combustibles pour chacune des trois couches de combustibles : litière et autres combustibles légers, couches organiques peu tassées de moyenne épaisseur, et épaisses couches organiques compactes. Les trois autres composantes sont des indices de comportement du feu qui représentent la vitesse de propagation du feu, les quantités de combustibles disponibles et l'intensité du feu sur le front de l'incendie; la valeur de ces trois indices est directement proportionnelle au danger d'incendie.

A multibeam echosounder is a type of sonar that is used to map the seabed. Like other sonar systems, multibeam systems emit sound waves in a fan shape beneath a ship's hull. The amount of time it takes for the sound waves to bounce off the seabed and return to a receiver is used to determine water depth. Unlike other sonars, multibeam systems use beamforming to extract directional information from the returning soundwaves, producing a swath of depth readings from a single ping.

Flow soldering is a technique used to bulk solder components onto a printed circuit board.

This process is also often referred to as "wave soldering" because of the wave-like motion the molten solder takes when applied to the [printed circuit board].

As the circuit board makes contact with this wave, the components become soldered to the board.

... the industry standard for fish detection are split-beam echosounders. In ideal survey conditions, their echograms provide a clear image of fish as they travel through the beam of ensonified water. For high-energy tidal channels, the conventional processing approach is to limit the depth range by excluding the surface as it is difficult to distinguish bubbles from fish in areas of entrained air... When fish form dense aggregations, it can be difficult to acoustically identify an individual fish from its neighbour when the signal is over-saturated.

Estimates of catch typically make up the bulk of the data that is applied to a stock assessment model. But most stock assessment models also require some kind of index of abundance. The index of abundance is a value that indicates the trend in relative abundance over time. Often[, ] an index of abundance is simply the number of fish caught during a survey. The index of abundance for a cod stock, for example, may be the average number of cod caught per tow from a research vessel. Each tow would be of a specified length, depth and speed using a standardized net, so that the index of abundance values could be compared over time.

Ships may capsize and sink in water that is deeper than the beam of the ship. The sunken ship becomes an underwater obstruction and hazard to maritime traffic. Water depth around and over the ship at high water determines the extent and seriousness of the hazard and the urgency of removal. Refloating the ship upside down is sometimes suitable in such cases.... The refloated ship is to be scuttled in deep water, scrapped in a drydock, or taken to a location that can accept the upsidedown ship.
