Survey Report on Texture Mapping
=abstract=
``A picture is worth a thousand words''. This is best portrayed by 
today's computer graphics systems. Naturally computer graphics researchers 
have always striven to get most realistic images of real life objects. In 
1974, Catmull showed how texture mapping can add reality to computer 
generated images using texture mapping technique, and since then it is a 
field of interest for several researchers. In this paper, we give a brief
introduction of {\it texture mapping} concept and its main methods. We 
describe some of its recently developed methods and also some of the main 
applications where it is useful. We also discuss popular software used for
rendering of images of the real life objects on computer.
