  2. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    In physics and astronomy, a frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system, whose origin, orientation, and scale have been specified in physical space. It is based on a set of reference points , defined as geometric points whose position is identified both mathematically (with numerical coordinate values) and ...

  3. Geodetic control network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_control_network

    A geodetic control network consists of stable, identifiable points with published datum values derived from observations that tie the points together. [ 1 ] Classically, a control is divided into horizontal (X-Y) and vertical (Z) controls (components of the control), however with the advent of satellite navigation systems, GPS in particular ...

  4. Geographic information system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_Information_System

    A new hybrid method of storing data is that of identifying point clouds, which combine three-dimensional points with RGB information at each point, returning a 3D color image. GIS thematic maps then are becoming more and more realistically visually descriptive of what they set out to show or determine.

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  6. Ground-penetrating radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar

    Data may be plotted as profiles, as planview maps isolating specific depths, or as three-dimensional models. GPR can be a powerful tool in favorable conditions (uniform sandy soils are ideal). Like other geophysical methods used in archaeology (and unlike excavation) it can locate artifacts and map features without any risk of damaging them ...

  7. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    In the new coordinate system, the origin is a fixed point of the map and the solutions are of the linear system A n x 0. The solutions for the map are no longer curves, but points that hop in the phase space. The orbits are organized in curves, or fibers, which are collections of points that map into themselves under the action of the map.

  8. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    A map from this sphere to a unit sphere of dimension n − 1 can be constructed by dividing each vector on this sphere by its length to form a unit length vector, which is a point on the unit sphere S n−1. This defines a continuous map from S to S n−1. The index of the vector field at the point is the degree of this map. It can be shown ...

  9. Gauss map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_Map

    The Gauss map can be defined for hypersurfaces in R n as a map from a hypersurface to the unit sphere S n − 1 ⊆ R n. For a general oriented k-submanifold of R n the Gauss map can also be defined, and its target space is the oriented Grassmannian ~,, i.e. the set of all oriented k-planes in R n. In this case a point on the submanifold is ...
