Convex function than convex or strictly convex functions, since they are a smaller class. Like strictly convex functions, strongly convex functions have unique minima on compact sets. A uniformly convex function, with modulus formula_70, is a function that, for all "x", "y" in the domain and , satisfies where formula_70 is a function that is non-negative and vanishes only at 0. This is a generalization of the concept of strongly convex function; by taking formula_73 we recover the definition of strong convexity. Convex function In mathematics, a real-valued function defined on an "n"-dimensional interval is called convex (or convex downward or concave
Telecentric lens Telecentric lens A telecentric lens is a compound lens that has its entrance or exit pupil at infinity; in the prior case, this produces an orthographic view of the subject. This means that the chief rays (oblique rays that pass through the center of the aperture stop) are parallel to the optical axis in front of or behind the system, respectively. The simplest way to make a lens telecentric is to put the aperture stop at one of the lens's focal points. An entrance pupil at infinity makes the lens object-space telecentric. Such lenses are used in machine vision systems
