  2. Geometry pipelines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry_pipelines

    On the whole, earlier graphics accelerators by 3Dfx, Matrox and others relied on the CPU for geometry processing. This subject matter is part of the technical foundation for modern computer graphics, and is a comprehensive topic taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels as part of a computer science education.

    A truncated pyramid enclosing the subset of 3D space that projects onto a 'viewport' (a rectangular region in screen space, usually the entire screen). Virtual reality Computer-rendered content that (unlike augmented reality) completely replaces the user's view of the real world. [3]: 915 Volume texture A type of texture map with 3 dimensions ...

  4. Render output unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_output_unit

    In computer graphics, the render output unit (ROP) or raster operations pipeline is a hardware component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs) and one of the final steps in the rendering process of modern graphics cards.

  5. Checkerboard rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkerboard_rendering

    Checkerboard rendering or sparse rendering, [1] also known as checkerboarding for short, is a 3D computer graphics rendering technique, intended primarily to assist graphics processing units with rendering images at high resolutions.

  6. Image-based modeling and rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-based_modeling_and...

    The traditional approach of computer graphics has been used to create a geometric model in 3D and try to reproject it onto a two-dimensional image. Computer vision, conversely, is mostly focused on detecting, grouping, and extracting features (edges, faces, etc. ) present in a given picture and then trying to interpret them as three-dimensional ...

  7. Graphics pipeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_pipeline

    The computer graphics pipeline, also known as the rendering pipeline, or graphics pipeline, is a framework within computer graphics that outlines the necessary procedures for transforming a three-dimensional (3D) scene into a two-dimensional (2D) representation on a screen. [1]

  8. PageNet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageNet

    PageNet, also known as Paging Network, Inc., was founded in 1981 by entrepreneur George Perrin and ceased in 1999. The company grew to become the largest wireless messaging company in the world, with more than 10 million pagers in service, and $1 billion in revenues, before the paging industry's rapid decline in the late 1990s.

  9. Level of detail (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    LOD 100 (Conceptual Design): This model is basic in terms of geometric shapes and placeholders. Rough layout and massing studies are used to assess project feasibility. As an initial design discussion tool, LOD 100 is useful for giving you a general idea of the project without forcing you to nail down every detail.
