Camera resectioning is the process of estimating the parameters of a pinhole camera model approximating the camera that produced a given photograph or video; it determines which incoming light ray is associated with each pixel on the resulting image. Basically, the process determines the pose of the pinhole camera.

A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by motion in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensor —usually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam. [ 1 ]
Camera traps are a type of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_trap |
In combinatorics , the Cameron–Erdős conjecture (now a theorem) is the statement that the number of sum-free sets contained in [ N ] = { 1 , … , N } {\displaystyle [N]=\{1,\ldots ,N\}} is O ( 2 N / 2 ) . {\displaystyle O{\big (}{2^{N/2}}{\big )}.}
The sum of two odd numbers is even , so a set of odd numbers is always ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron–Erdős_conjecture |
In mathematics , the Cameron–Martin theorem or Cameron–Martin formula (named after Robert Horton Cameron and W. T. Martin ) is a theorem of measure theory that describes how abstract Wiener measure changes under translation by certain elements of the Cameron–Martin Hilbert space .

Camille Alphonse Faure (21 May 1840, Vizille – 14 September 1898) was a French chemical engineer who in 1881 significantly improved the design of the lead-acid battery , which had been invented by Gaston Planté in 1859. Faure's improvements greatly increased the capacity of such batteries and led directly to their manu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Alphonse_Faure |
