Key Terminology & Definitions
Embossing (Bas-Relief Filter)
A visual filter that replaces pixels with a highlight or shadow depending on light source direction, mapping differences onto a neutral gray baseline.
Heightmap
A grayscale image where pixel luminance represents surface elevation for 3D displacement and rendering.
