Author Prof. Weidong Geng State Key Lab of CAD&CG Digital Media Technology Department College of Computer Science Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China E-mail: gengwd@zju.edu.cn ISSN 1995-6819 e-ISSN 1995-6827 Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China ISBN 978-7-308-06600-6 Zhejiang University Press, Hangzhou ISBN 978-3-642-04890-6 e-ISBN 978-3-642-04891-3 Springer Heidelberg Dordrecht London New York Library of Congress Control Number: 2009935705 Most Helpful Customer Reviews By Don Paul on October 23, 2010 This book presents a detailed treatment of the maturing field of non-photorealistic computer graphics, and the emerging quest of creating images that are more effective at conveying information, expressions, and beauty. Although it is filled with well illustrated algorithms and discusses their fundamental principles for creating simulations of pencil-drawings, watercolor and oil paintings and much more, it also goes beyond image pressing algorithms. The author delves into the artistic processing of various images to achieve a variety of effects. The advantages of image based painting over the rendering of 3D models, research methodologies and scientific problems, current hot topics and the future of non-photorealistic computer graphics are also discussed. It is a valuable book for students of non-photorealistic computer graphics.
