Perplexing Images
Question:
Can you restore the images?
Instructions:
1. Can
you make the pattern out?
2.
Try again using a cylindrical or a conical mirror.
Why?
Steel mirrors have become commonplace
in building decorations. One fascinating property of steel
mirrors is their mouldability - they can be bent into
the shape of a circular cylinder or even a cone. Sometimes,
images reflected from the cylindrical or conical surfaces
get so distorted that they are barely recognizable. However,
cylindrical or conical mirrors can also work the other
way round by restoring the original picture from a seemingly
chaotic pattern.
