State of the Art Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emergence of non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) over the greater part of a decade has created an intriguing new field espousing expression, abstraction and stylisation in preference to the traditional computer graphics concerns for photorealism. By lifting the burden of realism, NPR is capable of engaging with users, providing compelling and unique experiences through devices such as abstraction and stylisation. Many artistic and visual styles have been achieved by NPR including interactive and automated systems for drawing and painting. In this paper we outline the current state-of-the-art of NPR for visualisation and identify some current and future trends in NPR research.

متن کاملNPR Lenses: Local Effect Control for Non-Photorealistic Line Drawings
Modern line rendering systems can create high-quality illustrations. However, the interaction possible with such systems is often limited to selecting an appropriate viewpoint and applying certain line styles to the entire model. NPR Lenses are a new non-photorealistic rendering tool, that allows integrated distortions in 3D with common 2D interaction techniques. NPR Lenses support local adjust...
متن کاملNon-Photorealistic Rendering from Stereo
A new paradigm for automatic non-photorealistic rendering is introduced in this paper. Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) provides an alternative way to render complex scenes by emphasizing high level or salient perceptual features. Particularly, the pen-and-ink rendering style produces sketchy-like drawings that can effectively communicate shape and geometry. This is achieved by combining draw...
متن کاملAccelerating Non-photorealistic Video Effects Using Compressed Domain Processing
Recently, various non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques have been developed for computers to generate images of different artistic styles automatically. Due to the complexity of the algorithms, however, most NPR methods are limited to the processing of still images. It is the objective of this paper to extend and improve existing NPR techniques to enable near realtime processing of vide...
متن کاملNPR, Focussing and Emphasis in Medical Visualizations
Emphasis and focussing techniques are designed to consider the importance of objects within the rendering process. Such techniques are essential in medical education and therapy planning systems. Non-photorealistic rendering techniques, such as silhouette lines, are essential in this context as they convey the shape of objects without occluding large areas. We discuss emphasis and focussing by ...
