Types of meshA mesh is a representation of a larger geometric domain by smaller discrete cells. Meshes are commonly used to compute solutions of partial differential equations and render computer graphics, and to analyze geographical and cartographic data. A mesh partitions space into elements (or cells or zones) over which the equations can be solved, which then approximates the solution over the larger domain. Element boundaries may be constrained to lie on internal or external boundaries within a model.
Speeded Up Robust FeaturesSpeeded Up Robust Features (SURF), que l'on peut traduire par caractéristiques robustes accélérées, est un algorithme de détection de caractéristique et un descripteur, présenté par des chercheurs de l'ETH Zurich et de la Katholieke Universiteit Leuven pour la première fois en 2006 puis dans une version révisée en 2008. Il est utilisé dans le domaine de vision par ordinateur, pour des tâches de détection d'objet ou de reconstruction 3D.
Per-pixel lightingIn computer graphics, per-pixel lighting refers to any technique for lighting an image or scene that calculates for each pixel on a rendered image. This is in contrast to other popular methods of lighting such as vertex lighting, which calculates illumination at each vertex of a 3D model and then interpolates the resulting values over the model's faces to calculate the final per-pixel color values.
Surface triangulationTriangulation of a surface means a net of triangles, which covers a given surface partly or totally, or the procedure of generating the points and triangles of such a net of triangles. This article describes the generation of a net of triangles. In literature there are contributions which deal with the optimization of a given net. Surface triangulations are important for visualizing surfaces and the application of finite element methods.
Motion graphicsMotion graphics (sometimes mograph) are pieces of animation or digital footage which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. Motion graphics are usually displayed via electronic media technology, but may also be displayed via manual powered technology (e.g. thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, stroboscope, zoetrope, praxinoscope, flip book). The term distinguishes static graphics from those with a transforming appearance over time, without over-specifying the form.
