Glossary

2.5D image 2.5D images image that simulates the appearance of being three-dimensional [3D] when in fact it is two-dimensional [2D] manifold manifolds topological space with the property that each point has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of n-dimensional Euclidean space mesh meshes collection of vertices, edges and faces that defines the shape of a polyhedral object. Also known as a polygon mesh tessellation tessellations dividing of datasets of polygons, i.e. vertex sets, presenting objects in a scene into suitable structures for rendering. In real-time rendering, the data is tessellated into triangles, also known as polygon triangulation topology topologies properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations
