A landscape designed taking into account parameter s, when these are understood and identified a priori as such, ie as variables that in different degrees configure the project, so that the variation of parameters necessarily alter the project. 2. Landscape designed with parametric software. 3. Natural landscape Environment resulting from the application of parametric methods or parametric based programs. This last definition is general and includes any product of parametric design. As such, it is similar to other terms such as financial landscape , which broadly and metaphorically refers to the set of existing financial tools and contexts.

In programming language s and type theory , parametric polymorphism is a way to make a language more expressive, while still maintaining full static type safety . Using parametric polymorphism computer science polymorphism , a function or a data type can be written generically so that it can handle values identically without depending on their type. ref name bjpierce Pierce, B. C. 2002 Types and Programming Languages. MIT Press. ref Such functions and data types are called generic functions and generic datatypes respectively and form the basis of generic programming . For example, a function code append code that joins two lists can be constructed so that it does not care about the type of elements it can append lists of integers, lists of real numbers, lists of strings, and so on. Let the type variable a denote the type of elements in the lists. Then code append code can be typed a a a , where a denotes the type of lists with elements of type a . We say that the type of code append code is parameterized by a for all values of a .

unreferenced date January 2010 Parametric Stereo is a feature and an Audio Object Type defined and used in MPEG 4 Part 3 MPEG 4 Audio to further enhance efficiency in low bandwidth stereo media. Advanced Audio Coding Low Complexity AAC LC combined with Spectral band replication SBR and Parametric Stereo PS was defined as HE AAC v2 . An HE AAC v1 decoder will only give mono sound when decoding an HE AAC v2 bitstream. Parametric Stereo performs sparse coding in the spatial domain, somewhat similar to what SBR does in the frequency domain. An AAC HE v2 bitstream is obtained by downmixing the stereo audio to mono at the encoder along with 2 3 kbit s of side info the Parametric Stereo information in order to describe the spatial intensity stereo generation and ambience regeneration at the decoder. By having the Parametric Stereo side info along with the mono audio stream, the decoder player can regenerate a faithful spatial approximation of the original stereo panorama at very low bitrates. Because only one audio channel is transmitted, along with the parametric side info, a 24 kbit s coded audio signal with Parametric Stereo will be substantially improved in quality, compared to a discretely stereo coded audio signal coded with conventional means. Thus, the additional bitrate spent on the single mono channel combined with some PS side info will improve the perceived quality substantially of the audio compared to a standard stereo stream at similar bitrate. However, this technique is only useful at the lowest bitrates say 16 32 kbit s, sweet spot at 24 kbit s to give a good stereo impression, so while it can improve perceived quality at very low bitrates, it generally does not achieve Transparency data compression transparency , since simulating the stereo dynamics of the audio with the technique is limited and generally deteriorates perceived quality regardless of the bitrate.

Orphan date December 2010 Parametric animation is an animation technique used in computer software , such as in computer games, that blends two or more separate animations together to form a new animation. This new animation is constructed in real time by the game engine, and is not stored in a separate file like a regular animation. The technique was first used in an early build of the Half Life video game Half Life mod computer gaming mod , Team Fortress 2 , and it not only heavily reduces artist workload during game development, it provides for much smoother animation as well. Example of use In the early days of video game development, animators were required to create entirely new animations to reflect multiple actions performed by the player. For example, an animator might be required to create animation for shooting, reloading, and jumping. If the player was to jump while shooting, the artist would have one of two choices Allow the game to display the animation with greater priority &mdash in this case, shooting Create a separate animation which depicted simultaneous jumping and shooting As development continued, the artist would be forced to create an oversized plethora of animations running while shooting, running backwards while shooting, running left or right while shooting, running while reloading, and so on. With Parametric Animation, an animator might for sake of simplicity only be required to create the three base animations from which the remaining 25 animations would be constructed.

A parametric surface is a surface in the Euclidean space R sup 3 sup which is defined by a parametric equation with two parameters. Parametric representation is the most general way to specify a surface. Surfaces that occur in two of the main theorems of vector calculus , Stokes theorem and the divergence theorem , are frequently given in a parametric form. The curvature and arc length of curve s on the surface, surface area , differential geometric invariants such as the first fundamental form first and second fundamental form second fundamental forms, Gaussian curvature Gaussian , mean curvature mean , and principal curvature principal curvatures can all be computed from a given parametrization.
