Visual Perception from a Computer Graphics Perspective
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.

Computer graphics : from pixels to programmable graphics hardware
\"Offering a complex view on the current state of the art in computer graphics, programmable graphics hardware, shaders, and shader-based effects, this unique text covers nearly all aspects of modern computer graphics. It presents the necessary mathematical background and algorithms and describes rasterization, hidden surface removal, and fixed and programmable pipeline. Suitable for a one-semester course, the book requires only basic knowledge of analytic geometry, linear algebra, and C++. It includes questions and practical examples (mostly using OpenGL3.0) and provides full source code and other materials on a supplementary website\"-- Provided by publisher.

AutoCAD® 2017 3D Modeling
This book provides new and seasoned users with step-by-step procedures on creating and modifying 3D models, working with cameras and lights, assigning materials to objects, rendering, and printing. Unlike many AutoCAD competitors, it uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad tools for this popular application. Use the companion CD to set up drawing exercises and projects and see all of the book's figures including color. This book includes 50 \"mini-workshops,\" that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of the workshops will simulate the creation of full projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2017.

Shadow algorithms data miner
\"Digital shadow generation continues to be an important aspect of visualization and visual effects in film, games, simulations, and scientific applications. This resource offers a thorough picture of the motivations, complexities, and categorized algorithms available to generate digital shadows. From general fundamentals to specific applications, it addresses \"out of core\" shadow algorithms and how to manage huge data sets from a shadow perspective. The book also examines the use of shadow algorithms in industrial applications, in terms of what algorithms are used and what software is applicable.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Designing with the mind in mind : simple guide to understanding user interface design guidelines
In this completely updated and revised edition of Designing with the Mind in Mind, Jeff Johnson provides you with just enough background in perceptual and cognitive psychology that user interface (UI) design guidelines make intuitive sense rather than being just a list or rules to follow.Early UI practitioners were trained in cognitive psychology.
eBook
Physically based rendering : from theory to implementation
Physically Based Rendering, Second Edition describes both the mathematical theory behind a modern photorealistic rendering system as well as its practical implementation. A method known as \"literate programming\" combines human-readable documentation and source code into a single reference that is specifically designed to aid comprehension. The result is a stunning achievement in graphics education. Through the ideas and software in this book, you will learn to design and employ a full-featured rendering system for creating stunning imagery. This new edition greatly refines its best-selling predecessor by streamlining all obsolete code as well as adding sections on parallel rendering and system design; animating transformations; multispectral rendering; realistic lens systems; blue noise and adaptive sampling patterns and reconstruction; measured BRDFs; and instant global illumination, as well as subsurface and multiple-scattering integrators. These updates reflect the current state-of-the-art technology, and along with the lucid pairing of text and code, ensure the book's leading position as a reference text for those working with images, whether it is for film, video, photography, digital design, visualization, or gaming. The author team of Matt Pharr, Greg Humphreys, and Pat Hanrahan garnered a 2014 Academy Award for Scientific and Technical Achievement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences based on the knowlege shared in this book.The Academy called the book a \"widely adopted practical roadmap for most physically based shading and lighting systems used in film production.\"
