Description
Even as developments in photorealistic computer graphics continue to affect our work and leisure activities, practitioners and researchers
are devoting more and more attention to non-photorealistic (NPR) techniques for generating images that appear to have been created by
hand. These efforts benefit every field in which illustrations?thanks to their ability to clarify, emphasize, and convey very precise
meanings?offer advantages over photographs. These fields include medicine, architecture, entertainment, education, geography, publishing,
and visualization.
Non-Photorealistic Computer Graphics is the first and only resource to examine non-photorealistic
efforts in depth, providing detailed accounts of the major algorithms, as well as the background information and implementation advice
readers need to make headway with these increasingly important techniques.
Already, an estimated 10% of computer graphics users require
some form of non-photorealism. Strothotte and Schlechtweg's important new book is designed and destined to be the standard NPR reference
for this large, diverse, and growing group of professionals.
