Definition
Image connecting a particular item or detail to recognisable scene context. Viewpoint affects apparent positions and geometry. Photographic appearance alone is not a calibrated distance or position measurement. Camera geometry, scale and appropriate methods are required for quantitative conclusions.
- Context
