This technique is widely used to render three dimensional (3D) models with greater realism than is obtained with simple shaded area fills)
found: IEEE computer graphics and applications, Nov. 1986:p. 57 (Texture mapping means the mapping of a function onto a surface in 3-D. The domain of the function can be one, two, or three-dimensional, and it can be represented by either an array or by a mathematical function)
found: Wikipedia, via WWW, Dec. 22, 2006(Texture mapping is a method, invented by Edwin Catmull, of adding detail, surface texture, or colour to a computer-generated graphic or 3D model. A texture map is applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape)
found: Introduction to computer graphics, 1994:pp. 498-499 (As detail becomes finer and more intricate, explicit modeling with polygons or other geometric primitives becomes less practical. An alternative is to map an image, either digitized or synthesized, onto a surface, a technique pioneered by Catmull ... This approach is known as texture mapping or pattern mapping)
