  2. Rendering (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)

    Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program. [citation needed] The resulting image is referred to as a rendering. Multiple models can be defined in a scene file containing objects in a strictly defined language or data structure.

  3. Gamma correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction

    Gamma correction is a type of power law function whose exponent is the Greek letter gamma ( γ ). It should not be confused with the mathematical Gamma function. The lower case gamma, γ, is a parameter of the former; the upper case letter, Γ, is the name of (and symbol used for) the latter (as in Γ ( x )).

  4. Functional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_analysis

    Functional analysis. One of the possible modes of vibration of an idealized circular drum head. These modes are eigenfunctions of a linear operator on a function space, a common construction in functional analysis. Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with ...

  5. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Letting a number be a linear function (other than the sum) of the 2 preceding numbers. The Pell numbers have P n = 2P n−1 + P n−2. If the coefficient of the preceding value is assigned a variable value x, the result is the sequence of Fibonacci polynomials. Not adding the immediately preceding numbers.

  6. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    For instance, any linear combination of a fixed collection of independent normal deviates is a normal deviate. Many results and methods, such as propagation of uncertainty and least squares [5] parameter fitting, can be derived analytically in explicit form when the relevant variables are normally distributed.

  7. Multimedia information retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Information...

    Multimedia information retrieval (MMIR or MIR) is a research discipline of computer science that aims at extracting semantic information from multimedia data sources. [failed verification] Data sources include directly perceivable media such as audio, image and video, indirectly perceivable sources such as text, semantic descriptions, biosignals as well as not perceivable sources such as ...

  8. Frequency domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain

    In mathematics, physics, electronics, control systems engineering, and statistics, the frequency domain refers to the analysis of mathematical functions or signals with respect to frequency (and possibly phase), rather than time, as in time series. [1] Put simply, a time-domain graph shows how a signal changes over time, whereas a frequency ...

  9. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Probability distribution fitting or simply distribution fitting is the fitting of a probability distribution to a series of data concerning the repeated measurement of a variable phenomenon. The aim of distribution fitting is to predict the probability or to forecast the frequency of occurrence of the magnitude of the phenomenon in a certain ...
