Principles of Digital Image Synthesis

Andrew S. Glassner

Image synthesis, or rendering, is a field of it changes

geometry and physics into meaningful images. Because the most popular

algorithms frequently change, it is increasingly important for researchers

and implementors to have a basic understanding of the principles of image

synthesis. Focusing on theory, Andrew Glassner provides a comprehensive

explanation of the three core fields of study that come together to form

digital image the human visual system, digital signal

processing, and the interaction of matter and light. Assuming no more than

a basic background in calculus, Glassner transforms his passion and

expertise into a thorough presentation of each of these disciplines, and

their elegant orchestration into modern rendering techniques such as

radiosity and ray tracing.
