More Information
Summary:Suitable for readers studying or working in the fields of computer graphics and visualization, cognitive science, and visual neuroscience, this book provides an introduction to human visual perception. It focuses on how computer graphics images are generated, rather than solely on the visual system's organization, so the text provides a more direct tie between image generation and the resulting perceptual phenomena. It covers topics such as illumination, action, and perception of factors including material properties, pictorial space, image statistics, and spatial cognition.
