Description

This lecture discusses advanced rendering techniques that aim at highly realistic images. Particular emphasis lies on high quality depictions of materials.

In detail the topics of this lecture are:

• Foundations of radio- and photometry
• Models for the description of optical material properties and light sources
• Transport-, volume visualization- and rendering equation
• Algorithms and techniques for the solution of the volume visualization and rendering equation
• Algorithms and techniques of image based rendering
• Models for the description of optical material properties and light sources
• Methods and algorithms for the acquisition of optical material properties
• Digital Photography
