  2. Texture filtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_filtering

    During the texture mapping process for any arbitrary 3D surface, a texture lookup takes place to find out where on the texture each pixel center falls. For texture-mapped polygonal surfaces composed of triangles typical of most surfaces in 3D games and movies, every pixel (or subordinate pixel sample) of that surface will be associated with some triangle(s) and a set of barycentric coordinates ...

  3. Brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness

    Brightness is an attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to be radiating or reflecting light. [1] In other words, brightness is the perception elicited by the luminance of a visual target.

  4. Brightness temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature

    Nonthermal sources can have very high brightness temperatures. In pulsars the brightness temperature can reach 10 30 K. [9] For the radiation of a helium–neon laser with a power of 1 mW, a frequency spread Δf = 1 GHz, an output aperture of 1 mm 2, and a beam dispersion half-angle of 0.56 mrad, the brightness temperature would be 1.5 × 10 10 ...

  5. Sky brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_brightness

    Sky brightness refers to the visual perception of the sky and how it scatters and diffuses light. The fact that the sky is not completely dark at night is easily visible. If light sources (e.g. the Moon and light pollution ) were removed from the night sky , only direct starlight would be visible.

  6. Surface brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_brightness

    A truly dark sky has a surface brightness of 2 × 10 −4 cd m −2 or 21.8 mag arcsec −2. [9] [clarification needed] The peak surface brightness of the central region of the Orion Nebula is about 17 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 14 milli nits) and the outer bluish glow has a peak surface brightness of 21.3 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 0.27 millinits).

    After all, as water expert and America’s first water sommelier Martin Riese, tells Yahoo Life: “Hydration is key for everything, and it’s completely underrated.”

  8. Gloss (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloss_(optics)

    Gloss reflection. Gloss is an optical property which indicates how well a surface reflects light in a specular (mirror-like) direction. It is one of the important parameters that are used to describe the visual appearance of an object.

  9. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision)

    The correct identification of small letters requires the letter size be about 18-30 cpd. [14] Contrast threshold can be defined as the minimum contrast that can be resolved by the patient. Contrast sensitivity is typically expressed as the reciprocal of the threshold contrast for detection of a given pattern (i.e., 1 ÷ contrast threshold).
