1. A computer-implemented method for processing a three-dimensional (3D) representation of an object which includes identification of disparate locations in memory that correspond to spatially similar locations in the object's 3D representation, the method comprising: identifying a first location in a memory, the first memory location comprising a first two-dimensional (2D) value and a first 2D address, wherein the first 2D address corresponds to a first three-dimensional (3D) point, the first 3D point having a first 3D value and corresponding to a first 3D area, wherein the first 3D area represents a portion of a 3D object's surface; converting the first 2D address from a first 2D representation to a second 2D representation; mapping the first 2D address in the second 2D representation to a first 3D address in a first 3D representation; converting the first 3D address from the first 3D representation to a second 3D representation, wherein the first 3D address in the second 3D representation identifies the first 3D point; identifying a second 3D point having a second 3D value and a second 3D address in the second 3D representation, the identification of the second 3D point comprising tracing a ray towards the 3D object's surface, wherein the ray is collinear to a normal of the 3D object's surface, and wherein each of the ray and the second 3D point is within a specified distance from the first 3D point on the 3D object's surface; converting the second 3D address from the second 3D representation to the first 3D representation; mapping the second 3D address in the first 3D representation to a second 2D address in the second 2D representation; converting the second 2D address from the second 2D representation to the first 2D representation, wherein the second 2D address in the first 2D representation identifies a second location in the memory, the second memory location having a second 2D value; applying an operation to the first and second memory locations, the operation changing the first and second 2D values; and updating the first and second 3D values based on the changed first and second 2D values, wherein the updating effects a change in the first 3D area representative of the portion of the 3D object's surface.
