The historical bathymetric map shown at the right is an example of discrete hypsometric tinting. In a map with continuous hypsometric tinting, there is a gradual shift from one tint to another, which presents a smoother appearance. This is often accomplished using data from a digital elevation model (DEM).
Hypsometric tints (also called layer tinting, elevation tinting, elevation coloring, or hysometric coloring) are colors placed between contour lines to indicate elevation. These tints are shown as bands of color in a graduated scheme or as a color scheme applied to contour lines themselves; either method is considered a type of Isarithmic map .
The Goos–Hänchen effect (named after Hermann Fritz Gustav Goos (1883–1968) and Hilda Hänchen (1919–2013) is an optical phenomenon in which linearly polarized light undergoes a small lateral shift when totally internally reflected. The shift is perpendicular to the direction of propagation in the plane containing the incident and ...
A hypsometric curve is a histogram or cumulative distribution function of elevations in a geographical area. Differences in hypsometric curves between landscapes arise because the geomorphic processes that shape the landscape may be different.

The Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect (after Hermann von Helmholtz and V. A. Kohlrausch [1]) is a perceptual phenomenon where some hues, even when of the same lightness, appear to be bolder than others. Each color on top has approximately the same luminance level and yet they do not appear equally bright or dark.
A traditional false-color satellite image of Las Vegas. Grass-covered land (e.g. a golf course) appears in red. In contrast to a true-color image, a false-color image sacrifices natural color rendition in order to ease the detection of features that are not readily discernible otherwise – for example the use of near infrared for the detection of vegetation in satellite images.

The Imbert–Fiodaraŭ effect (named after Fiodar Ivanavič Fiodaraŭ (1911–1994) and Christian Imbert (1937–1998) [1] is an optical phenomenon in which a beam of circularly or elliptically polarized light undergoes a small sideways shift when refracted or totally internally reflected. The sideways shift is perpendicular to the plane ...
