Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkL2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualImage</a> is an event in which visible light is generated in a particular pattern, which (does or might) contain information for an observer. Visual images may be produced by illuminating some tangible object -- a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a> (such as a photograph, movie film, or page of print), or by direct manipulation of light(s) to produce a pattern (e.g., nautical code lights). Visual images may be instantaneous or extended in time. Visual images may be classified (among other ways) by features of their appearance (e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQBqVJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ColorImage</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVv6QZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BlackAndWhiteImage</a>), by their origin (e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1pzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">XRayImage</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgC8X5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PenOrPencilDrawing</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQtsH5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SatelliteImage</a>), or by their content (e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQBe0ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LandscapeImage</a>). image VisualImage The collection of events in which <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjompwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FiberOpticCable</a>s are used to transmit light signals. fiber optics FiberOpticTransmission laser beam LaserBeam A collection of events.

Includes light from a spotlight on a stage, light from a neon sign, light from interior lighting fixtures in a home, etc. ArtificialLighting The collection of all symbolic halos. A halo is a depicted circle of light above or behind an agent's head. A symbolic halo is usually a religious symbol, indicating saintliness or divinity. halo Halo-Symbolic visible light VisibleLight A collection of events; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv6bf0ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Light</a>.
