Mesh generationMesh generation is the practice of creating a mesh, a subdivision of a continuous geometric space into discrete geometric and topological cells. Often these cells form a simplicial complex. Usually the cells partition the geometric input domain. Mesh cells are used as discrete local approximations of the larger domain. Meshes are created by computer algorithms, often with human guidance through a GUI , depending on the complexity of the domain and the type of mesh desired.
Taille de pierreLa taille de pierre regroupe un ensemble de techniques pour former dans un bloc de pierre une forme géométrique préconçue qui s'intègre généralement dans un appareil de pierres taillées. À ne pas confondre avec la gravure sur pierre, l'ornementation sur pierre ou la sculpture sur pierre qui orne le bâtiment d'éléments figuratifs. Ainsi, le tailleur de pierre construit l'édifice tandis que le sculpteur le décore. Les pierres de taille sont extraites de carrières.
3D scanning3D scanner is the process of analyzing a real-world object or environment to collect three dimensional data of its shape and possibly its appearance (e.g. color). The collected data can then be used to construct digital 3D models. A 3D scanner can be based on many different technologies, each with its own limitations, advantages and costs. Many limitations in the kind of objects that can be digitised are still present. For example, optical technology may encounter many difficulties with dark, shiny, reflective or transparent objects.
Licence publique générale limitée GNULa Licence publique générale limitée GNU, ou GNU LGPL (pour GNU Lesser General Public License) en anglais, est une licence utilisée par certains logiciels libres. Elle présente de grandes ressemblances avec la licence publique générale GNU (ou GNU GPL), rédigée par le même organisme, la Free Software Foundation, visant à promouvoir le développement de logiciels libres.
Maçonnerie à pierres sèchesvignette|Muret de pierre sèche épousant la déclivité et le relief du terrain dans la combe des Amburnex, à l'ouest du crêt de la Neuve, sommet du massif du Jura, dans le canton de Vaud (Suisse). La maçonnerie à pierres sèches (dite aussi maçonnerie à sec, maçonnerie sèche ou encore plus familièrement la pierre sèche) est une technique de construction consistant à assembler, sans aucun mortier à liant, des moellons, des plaquettes, des blocs, des dalles, bruts ou ébauchés, pour monter un mur, un voûtement.
Diagramme de VoronoïEn mathématiques, un diagramme de Voronoï est un pavage (découpage) du plan en cellules (régions adjacentes) à partir d'un ensemble discret de points appelés « germes ». Chaque cellule enferme un seul germe, et forme l'ensemble des points du plan plus proches de ce germe que d'aucun autre. La cellule représente en quelque sorte la « zone d'influence » du germe. Le diagramme doit son nom au mathématicien russe Gueorgui Voronoï (1868-1908). Le découpage est aussi appelé décomposition de Voronoï, partition de Voronoï ou tessellation de Dirichlet.
License compatibilityLicense compatibility is a legal framework that allows for pieces of software with different software licenses to be distributed together. The need for such a framework arises because the different licenses can contain contradictory requirements, rendering it impossible to legally combine source code from separately-licensed software in order to create and publish a new program. Proprietary licenses are generally program-specific and incompatible; authors must negotiate to combine code.
Software relicensingSoftware relicensing is applied in open-source software development when software licenses of software modules are incompatible and are required to be compatible for a greater combined work. Licenses applied to software as copyrightable works, in source code as binary form, can contain contradictory clauses. These requirements can make it impossible to combine source code or content of several software works to create a new combined one. Sometimes open-source software projects get stuck in a license incompatibility situation.
Solid modelingSolid modeling (or solid modelling) is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional shapes (solids). Solid modeling is distinguished within the broader related areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics, such as 3D modeling, by its emphasis on physical fidelity. Together, the principles of geometric and solid modeling form the foundation of 3D-computer-aided design and in general support the creation, exchange, visualization, animation, interrogation, and annotation of digital models of physical objects.
Free-software licenseA free-software license is a notice that grants the recipient of a piece of software extensive rights to modify and redistribute that software. These actions are usually prohibited by copyright law, but the rights-holder (usually the author) of a piece of software can remove these restrictions by accompanying the software with a software license which grants the recipient these rights. Software using such a license is free software (or free and open-source software) as conferred by the copyright holder.
