  2. Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model

    The Phong reflection model was developed by Bui Tuong Phong at the University of Utah, who published it in his 1975 Ph.D. dissertation. [1] [2] It was published in conjunction with a method for interpolating the calculation for each individual pixel that is rasterized from a polygonal surface model; the interpolation technique is known as Phong shading, even when it is used with a reflection ...

  3. Averted vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averted_vision

    Averted vision works because there are virtually no rods (cells which detect dim light in black and white) in the fovea: a small area in the center of the eye. The fovea contains primarily cone cells, which serve as bright light and color detectors and are not as useful during the night. This situation results in a decrease in visual ...

  4. Computer graphics lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics_lighting

    The process takes less time because finding the reflected light vector's direction is a more involved computation than calculating the halfway normal vector. [19] While this is similar to the Phong model, it produces different visual results, and the specular reflection exponent or shininess might need modification in order to produce a similar ...

  5. Reflective programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_programming

    In computer science, reflective programming or reflection is the ability of a process to examine, introspect, and modify its own structure and behavior. [ 1 ] Historical background

  6. Forward–backward algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward–backward_algorithm

    The forward–backward algorithm runs with time complexity () in space (), where is the length of the time sequence and is the number of symbols in the state alphabet. [1] The algorithm can also run in constant space with time complexity O ( S 2 T 2 ) {\displaystyle O(S^{2}T^{2})} by recomputing values at each step. [ 2 ]

  7. Janus (time-reversible computing programming language)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus_(time-reversible...

    In the inverted program, the assertion becomes the test, and the test becomes the assertion. (Since all values in Janus are integers, the usual C-semantics that 0 indicates false are employed.) For loops to be reversible, we similarly provide an assertion (the <e> after "from" ) and a test (the <e> after "until" ).

  8. Blinn–Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinn–Phong_reflection_model

    The Blinn–Phong reflection model, also called the modified Phong reflection model, is a modification developed by Jim Blinn to the Phong reflection model. [1]Blinn–Phong is a shading model used in OpenGL and Direct3D's fixed-function pipeline (before Direct3D 10 and OpenGL 3.1), and is carried out on each vertex as it passes down the graphics pipeline; pixel values between vertices are ...

  9. Reversible computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing

    Today, the field has a substantial body of academic literature. A wide variety of reversible device concepts, logic gates, electronic circuits, processor architectures, programming languages, and application algorithms have been designed and analyzed by physicists, electrical engineers, and computer scientists.
