Overview of NPR for computerized illustration
Mário Costa Sousa · 2006
Current scientific visualization techniques create complex images that may be difficult to interpret and do not have the expressiveness of illustrations. Incorporating traditional scientific illustration techniques into a visualization system enables artists and non-artists to harnesses the power of traditional illustration techniques when visually representing scientific data. In this lecture I will present an illustrative scientific visualization framework incorporating general illustration principles, as well as NPR techniques and aesthetics of various styles. Such a framework provides a basic foundation for categorizing and communicating research and may stimulate future illustrative visualization systems.
