  2. Gilbert–Johnson–Keerthi distance algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert–Johnson–Keerthi...

    Unlike many other distance algorithms, it does not require that the geometry data be stored in any specific format, but instead relies solely on a support function to iteratively generate closer simplices to the correct answer using the configuration space obstacle (CSO) of two convex shapes, more commonly known as the Minkowski difference.

  3. Hollow-Face illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-Face_illusion

    This result suggests that the bottom-up cues that drive the flicking response are distinct from the top-down cues that drive the Hollow-Face illusion. Another example of the Hollow-Face illusion is the "Gathering 4 Gardner" dragon. This dragon's head seems to follow the viewer's eyes everywhere (even up or down), when lighting, perspective and ...

  4. Convex curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    A convex curve (black) forms a connected subset of the boundary of a convex set (blue), and has a supporting line (red) through each of its points. A parabola, a convex curve that is the graph of the convex function () = In geometry, a convex curve is a plane curve that has a supporting line through each of its points.

  5. Face (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(geometry)

    In solid geometry, a face is a flat surface (a planar region) that forms part of the boundary of a solid object.For example, a cube has six faces in this sense.. In more modern treatments of the geometry of polyhedra and higher-dimensional polytopes, a "face" is defined in such a way that it may have any dimension.

  6. Convex geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_geometry

    Convex geometry is a relatively young mathematical discipline. Although the first known contributions to convex geometry date back to antiquity and can be traced in the works of Euclid and Archimedes, it became an independent branch of mathematics at the turn of the 20th century, mainly due to the works of Hermann Brunn and Hermann Minkowski in dimensions two and three.

  7. Regular polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polyhedron

    One might characterise the Greek definition as follows: A regular polygon is a planar figure with all edges equal and all corners equal. A regular polyhedron is a solid (convex) figure with all faces being congruent regular polygons, the same number arranged all alike around each vertex.

  8. Head (vessel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(Vessel)

    A sphere is the ideal shape for a head, because the stresses are distributed evenly through the material of the head. The radius (r) of the head equals the radius of the cylindrical part of the vessel.

    Dizzy Cocktail glass, a glass with a wide, shallow bowl, comparable to a normal cocktail glass but without the stem; Collins glass, for a tall mixed drink [2]; Highball glass, for mixed drinks [3]
