Mipmap

Memory-saving rendering technique in which resolution of farther-away images is lowered

Summary

In computer graphics, a mipmap is a pre-calculated, optimized sequence of images, each of which has an image resolution which is a factor of two smaller than the previous. Their use is known as mipmapping.
