Abstract: Normal maps play an important role in realistic 3D image rendering to express pseudo roughness of the surface. In normal map compression, z components are often eliminated and calculated ...

Abstract: Normal maps play an important role in computer 3D graphics to express pseudo roughness of the surface with a small amount of polygon data. In this paper, a highly efficient normal map ...

What looks like an ordinary border on the map turns out to be one of the strangest geographic anomalies in the world. In this remote corner of the Middle East, a small village belonging to the UAE ...
