The form factor of a device is its linear dimensions and configuration, as distinguished from other measures of size (for example Gigabytes, a measure of storage size). A gigabyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one billion bytes. ...
In manufactured components, such as integrated circuits or light bulbs, distinct products of the same form factor might fit into the same socket, mount or assembly location.
in engineering, the form factor is the proportion of radiation leaving one surface which is intercepted by another surface. This meaning of form factor is used in radiative heat transfer, illumination engineering, and computer graphics.
in electronics, the form factor of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the average value.
in fluid dynamics, the form factor is used in some equations that compute drag.
in forestry, the form factor is used to estimate volume of and timber yield from a species (of trees in a forest stand)

According to Nusselt's analogue, for a finite area, the formfactor of the patch is equivalent to the fraction of the circle at the base of the hemisphere.
Delta formfactors are the formfactorscomputed from the center of the base of the hemicube to a pixel on the hemicube.
The formfactor from a patch i to another patch j is the sum of the delta formfactors covered when patch j is projected onto the hemicube surface of patch i.
