Light & Skin Interactions: Simulations for Computer Graphics Applications (Paperback)

Light and Skin Interactions immerses you in one of the most fascinating application areas of computer graphics: appearance simulation. The book first illuminates the fundamental biophysical processes that affect skin appearance, and reviews seminal related works aimed at applications in life and health sciences. It then examines four exemplary modeling approaches as well as definitive algorithms that can be used to generate realistic images depicting skin appearance. An accompanying companion site also includes complete code and data sources for the BioSpec model, which is considered to be the most comprehensive first principles model in the field. Despite its wide scope of simulation approaches, the book's content is presented in a concise manner, focusing on relevant practical aspects. What's more, these approaches can be successfully applied to a wide range of additional materials, such as eye tissue, hair, and water.

• Allows you to understand and predict the qualitative and quantitative behavior of complex natural systems.
• A general background on tissue optics clarifies several confusing conceptual issues, saving you valuable time in the early stages of research
• Includes complete code and data sources for the BioSpec model

《光與皮膚相互作用》將您帶入電腦圖形學中最迷人的應用領域之一：外觀模擬。本書首先闡明了影響皮膚外觀的基本生物物理過程，並回顧了在生命和健康科學應用中的重要相關研究。接著，本書探討了四種典型的建模方法，以及可用於生成逼真的描繪皮膚外觀的明確算法。附帶的伴侶網站還包含了BioSpec模型的完整代碼和數據源，該模型被認為是該領域中最全面的第一原理模型。儘管模擬方法廣泛，但本書的內容以簡潔的方式呈現，重點關注相關的實際方面。此外，這些方法還可以成功應用於眼組織、頭髮和水等其他材料。

本書的特點包括：
- 讓您了解和預測複雜自然系統的定性和定量行為。
- 關於組織光學的一般背景，澄清了一些令人困惑的概念問題，為您在研究的早期節省寶貴的時間。
- 包含BioSpec模型的完整代碼和數據源。
