Description

Light & Skin Interactions: Simulations for Computer Graphics Applications is a comprehensive guide to appearance simulation in computer graphics. It explores the fundamental biophysical processes that affect skin appearance and reviews seminal works related to applications in life and health sciences. The book examines four exemplary modeling approaches and definitive algorithms used to generate realistic images depicting skin appearance, including the BioSpec model, which provides complete code and data sources. This approach allows for a wide range of additional materials, such as eye tissue, hair, and water, to be simulated, enabling an understanding and prediction of complex natural systems. A general background on tissue optics is also provided, clarifying several confusing conceptual issues and saving valuable time in the early stages of research.
