German term or phrase: pixelweise Annäherung
Aus einem Patent für einen Facettenspiegel zum Einsatz in einer Projektionsbelichtungsanlage:

Eine bogenförmige Einhüllende* kann dabei auch durch pixelweise Annäherung erfolgen, indem aus einer rasterartigen Einzelspiegelanordnung eine Einzelspiegelgruppe ausgewählt wird, deren Berandung der gewünschten Einhüllenden angenähert ist.

*= Außenumfang einer Gruppe bestehend aus mehreren Spiegeln

Ich weiß, das Thema ist sehr speziell, aber vielleicht hat ja trotzdem jemand einen Geistesblitz (oder kennt sich einfach nur besser aus als ich *g*). Ich bin nämlich gerade ziemlich am Verzweifeln. Vielen Dank schon mal für Vorschläge!

approximation by pixels


Explanation:
A curved envelope may also be realized through approximation by pixels, (i.e.) by choosing a group of mirrors from an incremental set of singular mirrors whose boundary is approximated to the envelope.

agree  Harry Borsje: Why not 'pixel(-)wise approximation' to stay close to the German patentese, just in case?
