32: Nonphotorealistic Rendering in Scientific Visualization
Monday, Full Day, 8:30 am - 5 pm
Petree Hall C
For
graphics researchers and practitioners who want to understand
how to create expressive nonphotorealistic images that
can be interpreted effectively by the human visual system:
An introduction to art theory and art history, painterly
techniques, non-photorealistic rendering, and visual perception,
and their application in computer graphics. The course
includes an in-depth description of stylistic techniques
in sketching and painting, followed by an explanation
of their correspondence to human perception. Then it focuses
on how these results can be applied to real computer graphics
applications, including scientific and information visualization,
volume rendering, and image synthesis.
Prerequisites
Some experience in graphics and/or visualization. Not
required: prior knowledge of or background in artistic
techniques or perceptual psychology.
Topics
Building from fundamental artistic theory and styles and
issues of low-level human vision, the course proceeds
to a higher-level discussion of how to use this information
to solve specific problems in computer graphics and scientific
visualization.
