Overview

This book presents state-of-the-art methods in computer graphics rendering. The 29 papers in this volume were selected after careful review by an international committee of experts. Included are a wide variety topics related to the generation of synthetic images: methods for local and global illumination, techniques for acquisition and modeling from images, image-based rendering, new image representations, hardware assisted methods, perception, shadow algorithms, visibility, texturing, and filtering.
