Résumé

In the past decade, the field of non-photorealistic computer graphics (NPR) has developed as the product of research marked by diverse and sometimes divergent assumptions, approaches, and aims. This book is the first to offer a systematic assessment of this work, identifying and exploring the underlying principles that have given the field its cohesion. In the course of this assessment, the authors provide detailed accounts of today's major non-photorealistic algorithms, along with the background information and implementation advice you need to put them to productive use. As NPR finds new applications in a broadening array of fields, Non-Photorealistic Computer Graphics is destined to be the standard reference for researchers and practitioners alike.

Features :

Traces NPR principles and techniques back to their origins in human vision and perception.
Emphasizes areas that stand to benefit most from advances in NPR, including medical and architectural illustration.
Presents algorithms for both two- and three-dimensional effects, using pseudo-code where needed.
Examines the techniques behind distinct styles, including pen-and-ink, pencil sketch, and painterly effects.
Explores specific challenges for NPR-including simulation of natural media, artistic techniques, deformations, illustrations, and lighting.
Concludes each chapter with a set of hands-on exercises.
Via a companion Web site, provides additional information on NPR, including a forum in which to interact with other NPR professionals.
