  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. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

    In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry.

    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 ...

  6. 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 ...

    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. Mirrors and Reflections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors_and_Reflections

    Mirrors and Reflections is aimed at undergraduate mathematics students, and uses an intuitive and heavily visual approach suitable for that level. [1] [2] [3] its readers are expected to already have a solid background in linear algebra and some group theory.

  9. Chirality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or, more precisely, if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. An object that is not chiral is said to be achiral. A chiral object and its mirror image are said to be enantiomorphs.
