different between triangulation vs parallax

triangulation

English

Etymology

From Medieval Latin triangul?ti?nem (triangulation), from triangul?re (to triangulate) + -ti?nem (suffix forming nouns relating to some actions or the results of actions). Triangul?re is derived from triangul?ris (triangular), from triangulus (triangular; triangle), from tr?s (three) + angulus (angle; corner). The English word is analysable as triangulate +? -ion, and is cognate with French triangulation.

From Middle French parallaxe, from Ancient Greek ?????????? (parállaxis, alteration) from ?????????? (paralláss?, to cause to alternate) from ??????? (alláss?, to alter) from ????? (állos, other).

Noun

parallax (countable and uncountable, plural parallaxes)

  1. An apparent shift in the position of two stationary objects relative to each other as viewed by an observer, due to a change in observer position.
    • 1685, J. Flamsteed in Philosophical Transactions XV, p. 1217:
      [] Heliocentrick places, to which the Parallaxes being applied, give the Geocentrick.
    • 2008, Bernard Perron, Mark J. P. Wolf, The Video Game Theory Reader 2 (page 157)
      Planes farther back on the z-axis scroll more slowly than those in front of them, producing a parallax effect. Early games with parallax scrolling tended to have their action taking place all in the forefront plane []
  2. (astronomy) The angle of seeing of the astronomical unit.
