  2. Dichromatic symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichromatic_symmetry

    There are no mirror reflection (m) operations for the dichromatic triangle, as there would be if all the smaller component triangles were coloured white. However, by introducing the anti-mirror reflection (m') operation the full dihedral D3 symmetry is restored. The six operations making up the dichromatic D3 (3m') point group are: identity (e)

  3. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).

  4. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    The method of images (or method of mirror images) is a mathematical tool for solving differential equations, in which boundary conditions are satisfied by combining a solution not restricted by the boundary conditions with its possibly weighted mirror image. Generally, original singularities are inside the domain of interest but the function is ...

    Diagram showing vectors used to define the BRDF. All vectors are unit length. points toward the light source. points toward the viewer (camera). is the surface normal.. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), symbol (,), is a function of four real variables that defines how light from a source is reflected off an opaque surface. It is employed in the optics of real-world ...

    In Shafer's dichromatic reflection model, [1] ... Body essence is an entity invariant to interface reflection, and has two degrees of freedom. The Gaussian ...

  8. Reflection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(mathematics)

    Point Q is the reflection of point P through the line AB. In a plane (or, respectively, 3-dimensional) geometry, to find the reflection of a point drop a perpendicular from the point to the line (plane) used for reflection, and extend it the same distance on the other side. To find the reflection of a figure, reflect each point in the figure.

  9. Alhazen's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhazen's_problem

    If the camera (eye) is placed on the axis of the mirror, the degree of the equation reduces to six. [15] Alhazen's problem can also be extended to multiple refractions from a spherical ball. Given a light source and a spherical ball of certain refractive index , the closest point on the spherical ball where the light is refracted to the eye of ...
