- So... the next question (and certainly my question) is how does Satori
- calculate the "depth" within the pixel field? Assuming that a "depth" is
- assigned to each of the pixels, then we'd be looking at a mathematical
- terrain description. What are the equation sets behind Satori?
-
- Perhaps this is more of a "what and why" than "how".
