Digital image
A digital image is an image composed of picture elements, also known as pixels, each with finite, discrete quantities of numeric representation for its intensity or gray level that is an output from its two-dimensional functions fed as input by its spatial coordinates denoted with x, y on the x-axis and y-axis, respectively.

Geometry
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.
Golden ratio
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.

HARMST
HARMST is an acronym for high aspect ratio microstructure technology, which describes fabrication technologies, used to create high-aspect-ratio microstructures with heights between tens of micrometers up to a centimeter, and aspect ratios greater than 10:1.
Hyperrectangle
In geometry, a hyperrectangle (also called a box, hyperbox, or orthotopeCoxeter, 1973), is the generalization of a rectangle (a plane figure) and the rectangular cuboid (a solid figure) to higher dimensions.

Pixel aspect ratio
A Pixel aspect ratio (often abbreviated PAR) is a mathematical ratio that describes how the width of a pixel in a digital image compared to the height of that pixel.

Plus sizing
Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.

Ratio
In mathematics, a ratio shows how many times one number contains another. Aspect ratio and ratio are ratios.
Rectangle

Shape factors are dimensionless quantities used in image analysis and microscopy that numerically describe the shape of a particle, independent of its size.

Square
In Euclidean geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four sides of equal length and four equal angles (90-degree angles, π/2 radian angles, or right angles).
