Screenshot of MapQuest in use on a web browser. MapQuest (stylized as mapquest) is an American free online web mapping service. It was launched in 1996 as the first commercial web mapping service. [1] MapQuest vies for market share with competitors such as Apple Maps, Here and Google Maps. [2] [3]
Texture mapping. Mapping a two-dimensional texture onto a 3D model. 1: 3D model without textures. 2: Same model with textures. Texture mapping[ 1][ 2][ 3] is a method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic. "Texture" in this context can be high frequency detail, surface texture, or color .
Texture mapping unit. In computer graphics, a texture mapping unit ( TMU) is a component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs). They are able to rotate, resize, and distort a bitmap image to be placed onto an arbitrary plane of a given 3D model as a texture, in a process called texture mapping. In modern graphics cards it is implemented as ...
Texel (graphics) Voronoi polygons for a group of texels. In computer graphics, a texel, texture element, or texture pixel is the fundamental unit of a texture map. [ 1] Textures are represented by arrays of texels representing the texture space, just as other images are represented by arrays of pixels . Texels can also be described by image ...
An illustration of texture filtering methods showing a texture with trilinear mipmapping (left) and anisotropic texture filtering. In 3D computer graphics, anisotropic filtering (abbreviated AF) [1] [2] is a method of enhancing the image quality of textures on surfaces of computer graphics that are at oblique viewing angles with respect to the camera where the projection of the texture (not ...
Bump mapping [1] is a texture mapping technique in computer graphics for simulating bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object. This is achieved by perturbing the surface normals of the object and using the perturbed normal during lighting calculations. The result is an apparently bumpy surface rather than a smooth surface, although the ...
The iPhone maker said that to train its AI models, it used two flavors of Google's tensor processing unit (TPU) that are organized in large clusters of chips. To build the AI model that will ...
Texture atlas. In computer graphics, a texture atlas (also called a spritesheet or an image sprite in 2D game development) is an image containing multiple smaller images, usually packed together to reduce overall dimensions. [1] An atlas can consist of uniformly-sized images or images of varying dimensions. [1]
