Abstract:


    Description
    Achieving realism in synthetic images requires realistic input data. This course: (a) examines the need for such data and the various models used to represent them, including physically realistic light sources, surface reflectance characteristics, and participating media; (b) reviews the measurement techniques used in light source photometry, daylighting studies, and surface reflectance characteristics; (c) discusses the models within a framework of practical implementation techniques for software developers; and (d) examines their potential for computer graphics users, professional lighting designers, illumination engineers, and architects, with examples from real-world applications.
