  2. 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.

  3. Texture (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(cosmology)

    In cosmology, a texture is a type of topological defect in the order parameter (typically a scalar field) of a field theory featuring spontaneous symmetry breaking. [1] [2] [3] They are not as localized as the other defects, and are unstable. No textures have been definitively confirmed as having been detected, but their existence is compatible ...

  4. Stippling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stippling

    Capodimonte porcelain jar painted in the stipple style of Giovanni Caselli with three figures of Pulcinella from the commedia dell'arte, 1745–1750 Graphics complex of a seashell with stipple shading modeled in Mathematica 13.1. Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a ...

  5. Sources and sinks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_and_sinks

    In physics, a vector field (,,) is a function that returns a vector and is defined for each point (with coordinates ,,) in a region of space. The idea of sources and sinks applies to b {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} } if it follows a continuity equation of the form

  6. Line integral convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_integral_convolution

    In LIC, discrete numerical line integration is performed along the field lines (curves) of the vector field on a uniform grid. The integral operation is a convolution of a filter kernel and an input texture, often white noise. [1] In signal processing, this process is known as a discrete convolution. [3]

  7. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    A vector field V defined on an open set S is called a gradient field or a conservative field if there exists a real-valued function (a scalar field) f on S such that = = (,,, …,). The associated flow is called the gradient flow , and is used in the method of gradient descent .

  8. Gabor filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabor_filter

    Its impulse response is defined by a sinusoidal wave (a plane wave for 2D Gabor filters) multiplied by a Gaussian function. [6] Because of the multiplication-convolution property (Convolution theorem), the Fourier transform of a Gabor filter's impulse response is the convolution of the Fourier transform of the harmonic function (sinusoidal function) and the Fourier transform of the Gaussian ...

  9. Complex lamellar vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_lamellar_vector_field

    A lamellar vector field is a special case given by vector fields with zero curl. The adjective "lamellar" derives from the noun "lamella", which means a thin layer. The lamellae to which "lamellar vector field" refers are the surfaces of constant potential, or in the complex case, the surfaces orthogonal to the vector field.
