The Latent Shadow-part 2

By S H Bean on January 20, 2015

I have now added a further column to the classification table of Cast Shadows, that of ‘Distance to Background‘. To explain this new class I am using the terms Proximate and Approximate.

Proximate identifies the position of the object as on the background.

Approximate identifies the position of the object as near but not touching.

Below is the updated table for Cast shadows (always assuming the object is opaque) and the total number of possible combinations (280)

 

Light type	Length	Edge	Shading	Colour	Distance to background
Daylight	Short	Hard	Light	Neutral	Proximate
Artificial	Medium	Diffused	Grey	Colour	Approximate
Mixed	Long		Black
Moonlight	Abstract
	Deformed
