Abstract
Direct determination of fundamental stellar parameters has many profound and wide-ranging impacts throughout astrophysics. These determinations are rooted in high angular resolution observations. In particular, as long-baseline optical interferometry has matured over the past decade, increasingly large survey samples are serving to empirically ground the basic parameters of these building blocks of the universe. True imaging and improved parametric fitting are becoming routinely available, an essential component of fully characterizing stars, stellar environments, and planets these stars may host.
