Parallax motion

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004130

The apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight. This effect is caused by a change in the observer's position. In optical instruments, parallax can lead to measurement errors if not accounted for, particularly in rangefinders or surveying equipment.
