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.
*Hard-to-find information needed by a wide range and growing number
of computer graphics programmers and applications users.
*Traces NPR principles and techniques back to their origins in
human vision and perception.
*Focuses on areas that stand to benefit most from advances in NPR,
including medical and architectural illustration, cartography, and
data visualization.
*Presents algorithms for two and three-dimensional effects, using
pseudo-code where needed to clarify complex steps.
*Helps readers attain pen-and-ink, pencil-sketch, and painterly
effects, in addition to other styles.
*Explores specific challenges for NPR including "wrong" marks,
deformation, natural media, artistic technique, lighting, and
dimensionality.
*Includes a series of programming projects in which readers can
apply the book's concepts and algorithms."
