The ability of the eye to perceive a series of rapid still images as a single moving image by retaining each impression on the retina for a fraction of a second, thus overlapping the images. This phenomena makes it possible to see the sequential projected images of a motion picture as life-like continuous movement.
The phenomenon where by still images are shown rapidly to convey motion.
A visual phenomenon where an image is retained in the eye for a short period of time, creating an illusion of continuous motion in film and video.
see Critical flicker frequency (CFF)
Tendency of human vision to retain images for a fraction of a second. Discrete images presented at a rate of about 16 or more per second--even when change takes place between them--blend together, creating the illusion of motion in TV and film.
the eye retains an image for a split second after it is removed
Sensory phenomenon to which cinema owes its existence: the perception of fluid movement from still images projected above a threshold speed. Below this speed the image flickers (hence the term 'the flicks', coined when silent film was shot at lower speeds, c. 16-20 fps).
The characteristic of the human visual system that retains a still image in the retina for a fraction of a second. Allows a series of still images, such as movies and video, to be perceived as motion.
The physiological phenomena whereby a human eye retains perception of an image for a short time after the image is no longer visible.
According to the theory of persistence of vision, the perceptual processes of the brain or the retina of the human eye retains an image for a brief moment. A visual form of memory known as iconic memory has been described as the cause of this phenomenonColtheart M. "The persistences of vision."
Persistence of Vision is the 23rd episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the seventh episode in the second season.
