Least Squares Conformal Map
Encyclopedia
A Least squares conformal map (LSCM) is a 2-D representation of a 3-D
shape created using the Least Squares Conformal Mapping Method. By using the map as a guide when creating a new 2-D image, the colors of the 2-D image can be applied to the original 3-D model.
LSCM is used in computer graphics as a method of producing a UV map
from a polygonal mesh to a texture map such that the shape of the polygons as mapped to the texture is relatively undistorted.
Three-dimensional space
Three-dimensional space is a geometric 3-parameters model of the physical universe in which we live. These three dimensions are commonly called length, width, and depth , although any three directions can be chosen, provided that they do not lie in the same plane.In physics and mathematics, a...
