5 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Computer Graphics.

• 3D projection — A mapping that represents three-dimensional geometry on a two-dimensional surface under explicit perspective, orthographic, oblique, or related projection rules.
• Hierarchical Radial-Basis-Function Interpolation — Interpolate scattered spatial data by recursively partitioning it into overlapping local RBF systems and blending their solutions through a spatial tree.
• Rendering (computer graphics) — The computation of an image from a formal scene, geometry, material, lighting, camera, or volume specification.
• Subdivision surface — A smooth limit surface generated by repeatedly refining a coarse polygonal control mesh with a fixed local subdivision rule.
• Volumetric path tracing — A Monte Carlo rendering method that samples light-transport paths through scattering and absorbing participating media as well as surfaces.
