- Tracing (law)Tracing (law)Tracing is a legal process, not a remedy, by which a claimant demonstrates what has happened to his/her property, identifies its proceeds and those persons who have handled or received them, and asks the court to award a proprietary claim against the property, or an asset substituted for the...
, a process by which a one demonstrates the ownership of property, with the intent to be awarded a claim based on this information - Tracing (criminology), a subject concerning setting up traces of occurrence of objects generated from trace evidenceTrace evidenceTrace evidence is evidence that occurs when different objects contact one another. Such materials are often transferred by heat induced by contact friction....
left at crime scenes - Tracing (as with a gun or camera), tracking an object, as with the use of tracer ammunitionTracer ammunitionTracer ammunition are bullets that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the phosphorus tail burns very brightly, making the projectile visible to the naked eye...
- Tracing in art, copying an object or drawing, especially with the use of translucent tracing paperTracing paperTracing paper is a type of translucent paper. It is made by immersing uncut and unloaded paper of good quality in sulphuric acid for a few seconds. The acid converts some of the cellulose into amyloid form having a gelatinous and impermeable character. When the treated paper is thoroughly washed...
- Tracing (computer graphics), edge detectionEdge detectionEdge detection is a fundamental tool in image processing and computer vision, particularly in the areas of feature detection and feature extraction, which aim at identifying points in a digital image at which the image brightness changes sharply or, more formally, has discontinuities...
via algorithms used in digital image processing to automatically generate tracings of objects - Tracing (software)Tracing (software)In software engineering, tracing is a specialized use of logging to record information about a program's execution. This information is typically used by programmers for debugging purposes, and additionally, depending on the type and detail of information contained in a trace log, by experienced...
, a method of debugging in computer programming - Call tracingCall tracingIn telecommunication, call tracing is a procedure that permits an entitled user to be informed about the routing of data for an established connection, identifying the entire route from the origin to the destination....
, a procedure in telephony that permits an entitled user to be informed about the routing of data for an established connection - Dye tracingDye tracingDye tracing is tracking and tracing various flows using dye added to the liquid in question. The purpose of tracking may be an analysis of the flow itself, of the transport of something by the flow of the objects that convey the flow...
, tracking various flows using dye added to the liquid in question - Anterograde tracingAnterograde tracingIn neuroscience, anterograde tracing is a research method which is used to trace axonal projections from their source In neuroscience, anterograde tracing is a research method which is used to trace axonal projections from their source In neuroscience, anterograde tracing is a research method which...
and Retrograde tracingRetrograde tracingRetrograde tracing is a research method which is used in neuroscience to trace neural connections from their point of termination to their source . The opposite technique is anterograde tracing, which is used to trace neural connections from their source to their point of termination...
, biological research techniques used to map the connections of neuronNeuronA neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous...
s from source to termination and from termination to source, respectively

- Ray tracingRay tracingIn computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects. The technique is capable of producing a very high degree of visual realism, usually higher than...
