Given two surfaces with the same topology, a bijective mapping between them exists. On triangular mesh surfaces, the problem of computing this mapping is called mesh parameterization. The parameter ___domain is the surface that the mesh is mapped onto.
Parameterization was mainly used for mapping textures to surfaces. Recently, it has become a powerful tool for many applications in mesh processing.[citation needed] Various techniques are developed for different types of parameter domains with different parameterization properties.
