  2. Heightmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap

    A heightmap contains one channel interpreted as a distance of displacement or "height" from the "floor" of a surface and sometimes visualized as luma of a grayscale image, with black representing minimum height and white representing maximum height. When the map is rendered, the designer can specify the amount of displacement for each unit of ...

  3. Contour line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_line

    In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. [3] A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. [4]

  4. Spot height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_height

    A spot height is an exact point on a map with an elevation recorded beside it that represents its height above a given datum. [1] In the UK this is the Ordnance Datum . Unlike a bench-mark , which is marked by a disc or plate, there is no official indication of a spot height on the ground although, in open country, spot heights may sometimes be ...

  5. Topographic prominence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence

    When the key col for a peak is close to the peak itself, prominence is easily computed by hand using a topographic map. However, when the key col is far away, or when one wants to calculate the prominence of many peaks at once, software can apply surface network modeling to a digital elevation model to find exact or approximate key cols.

  6. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

    Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).

    Typically, other TikTok users create a clip challenging him to guess their height — then, using videos, Instagram photos or whatever else he can find, he gets to work. Meet the TikToker who ...

  8. Normal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

    A texture map (left). The corresponding normal map in tangent space (center). The normal map applied to a sphere in object space (right). Normal map reuse is made possible by encoding maps in tangent space. The tangent space is a vector space, which is tangent to the model's surface. The coordinate system varies smoothly (based on the ...
