  2. Bitmap textures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap_textures

    Bitmap textures are digital images that represent surfaces, materials, patterns, or pictures. These textures are created by artists or designers using bitmap editor software such as Adobe Photoshop [1] or GIMP, [2] or simply by scanning an image and, if necessary, retouching it on a personal computer. Bitmap images are made up of tiny dots ...

  3. Road surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface

    The first method to create brick texture is to heat an asphalt pavement and use metal wires to imprint a brick pattern using a compactor to create stamped asphalt. A similar method is to use rubber imprinting tools to press over a thin layer of cement to create decorative concrete .

  4. International roughness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_roughness_index

    In addition to measuring roughness this system also measures other key pavement attributes such as cracking, rut depth and texture. Less expensive alternatives to profilometers are RTRRMS which do not record the profile but rather are installed in vehicles and measure how the vehicle responds to the pavement profile.

  5. Road slipperiness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_slipperiness

    It is a result of snow, ice, water, loose material and the texture of the road surface on the traction produced by the wheels of a vehicle. [ 1 ] Road slipperiness can be measured either in terms of the friction between a freely-spinning wheel and the ground, or the braking distance of a braking vehicle, and is related to the coefficient of ...

  6. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.

  7. DirectDraw Surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectDraw_Surface

    The DirectDraw Surface container file format is a Microsoft format for storing data compressed with the previously proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, [2] which can be decompressed in hardware by GPUs. This makes the format useful for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps as a data file, both compressed and ...

  8. Portuguese pavement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_pavement

    Portuguese pavement, known in Portuguese as calçada portuguesa or simply calçada (or pedra portuguesa in Brazil), is a traditional-style pavement used for many pedestrian areas in Portugal. It consists of small pieces of stone arranged in a pattern or image, like a mosaic .

  9. Pavement engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_engineering

    Pavement engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to design and maintain flexible and rigid pavements. This includes streets and highways and involves knowledge of soils, hydraulics, and material properties. Pavement engineering involves new construction as well as rehabilitation and maintenance of existing ...
