Rendering Techniques 2000 -

. .

Résumé :
This book presents state-of-the-art methods in computer graphics rendering. The papers included in this volume were selected after careful review by an international committee of experts. Included are various topics related to the generation of synthetic images: visibility, global illumination, perception, hardware assisted rendering, reflectance models, real-time rendering, antialiasing, compression and image-based rendering.
