  2. Computer representation of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_representation_of...

    An open surface with u- and v-flow lines and Z-contours shown. In technical applications of 3D computer graphics such as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, surfaces are one way of representing objects. The other ways are wireframe (lines and curves) and solids.

  3. Waveform graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform_graphics

    Waveform graphics were limited, but could still produce useful output when used in conjunction with programs like gnuplot. Waveform graphics is a simple vector graphics system introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) on the VT55 and VT105 terminals in the mid-1970s. It was used to produce graphics output from mainframes and ...

    [26] [27] The Laboratory was an enormous influence on the commercial Environmental Systems Research Institute, Esri, founded in 1969 by Jack Dangermond, a landscape architect graduate of Harvard Graduate School of Design who had worked as a research assistant at the Laboratory during 1968 and 1969. Scott Morehouse, the development lead for the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_(hydrology_software)

    "The obtained numerical models were developed using the program Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) v.10.1.11, which was designed by experts from Aquaveo company. The hydrodynamics of the studied sector, obtained using the SMS module named RMA2 [13], served as input for the RMA module 4, which determined the pollutant dispersion" (Marusic and ...

  6. OpenGL ES - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES

    OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games, typically hardware-accelerated using a graphics processing unit (GPU). It is designed for embedded systems like smartphones ...

  7. Caustic (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caustic_(optics)

    That is, given a specific image, to determine a surface whose refracted or reflected light forms this image. In the discrete version of this problem, the surface is divided into several micro-surfaces which are assumed smooth, i.e. the light reflected/refracted by each micro-surface forms a Gaussian caustic.

  8. Silhouette edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_edge

    In computer graphics, a silhouette edge on a 3D body projected onto a 2D plane (display plane) is the collection of points whose outwards surface normal is perpendicular to the view vector. Due to discontinuities in the surface normal, a silhouette edge is also an edge which separates a front facing face from a back facing face.

  9. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Surface-wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are obtained through analysis of surface-wave dispersion. [2] The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.
