Digital Processing Of 3-D Data To Generate Interactive Real-Time Dynamic Pictures
Stephen R. Black · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1977
The real time Computer Graphic system is a powerful tool to enhance visualization of three-dimensional information. This paper introduces the basic concepts of how digital models are created and how a digital image generator processes the model data base to produce an interactive, real time display of the model. Examples of applications are described and photographs of actual computer generated imagery are included to show the realism obtainable from state-of-the-art systems.
