  2. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    The lower left image shows a scene with a viewpoint marked with a black dot. The upper image shows the net of the cube mapping as seen from that viewpoint, and the lower right image shows the cube superimposed on the original scene. In computer graphics, cube mapping is a method of environment mapping that uses the six faces of a cube as the ...

    1. A canonical map is a map or morphism between objects that arises naturally from the definition or the construction of the objects being mapped against each other. 2. A canonical form of an object is some standard or universal way to express the object. correspondence

  4. Map (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y. In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense. [1] These terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper. [2]

    The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the

    Equivalently, an elementary cube is any translate of a unit cube [,] embedded in Euclidean space (for some , {} with ). [3] A set X ⊆ R d {\displaystyle X\subseteq \mathbf {R} ^{d}} is a cubical complex (or cubical set ) if it can be written as a union of elementary cubes (or possibly, is homeomorphic to such a set).

    Its absolute value equals the area (in ⁠ ⁠) or volume (in ⁠ ⁠) of the image of the unit square (or cube), while its sign corresponds to the orientation of the corresponding linear map: the determinant is positive if and only if the orientation is preserved.
