First sentence: In topology optimization of structures, materials and mechanisms, parametrization of geometry is often performed by a grey-scale density-like interpolation function, i.e., the geometric representation of a structure is similar to a grey-scale rendering of an image, in discrete form corresponding to a raster representation of the geometry.
