- a1369209993 6y agoWhat does gaussian noise have to do with a vector that points orthogonal to a surface? (Not entirely rhetorical; it'd be interesting if there was a relation there.)
- DonHopkins 6y agoI thought orthogonal surface vectors were named after Abby Normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Pw0xX4DXI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Pw0xX4DXI
- mr_toad 6y agoIt would be harder to search for, and to a lay person it still doesn’t explain what it is. Even worse, given the ambiguity of the word ‘normal’ it could easily cause misapprehensions. Ask the person on the street what normal noise is and they’re probably going to answer in decibels. At least Gaussian noise is easily googled.
