Science and technology of making measurement from photographs, e.g. automatically creating 3D models of environment. Photometry Science of measuring light in terms of human perception. Photon mapping Photorealistic rendering algorithm based on tracing rays from the camera as well as light sources, able to simulate effects such as caustics.
Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector. Also abbreviated LRL vector. A vector used chiefly to describe the shape and orientation of the orbit of one astronomical body around another, such as a planet revolving around a star. For two bodies interacting by Newtonian gravity, the LRL vector is a constant of motion, meaning that it is the same no matter ...
Vector-based devices, such as the vector CRT and the pen plotter, directly control a drawing mechanism to produce geometric shapes. Since vector display devices can define a line by dealing with just two points (that is, the coordinates of each end of the line), the device can reduce the total amount of data it must deal with by organizing the ...

For example, any two vector spaces of the same dimension are isomorphic; if one of them is given an inner product and if we fix a particular isomorphism, then we may define an inner product on the other space by factoring through the isomorphism.
