Drawing on an impressive roster of experts in the field, Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, Fifth Edition offers an ideal resource for computer course curricula as well as a user-friendly personal or professional reference.
Focusing on geometric intuition, this book gives the necessary information for understanding how images get onto the screen by using the complementary approaches of ray tracing and rasterization. It covers topics common to an introductory course, such as sampling theory, texture mapping, spatial data structure, and splines. It also includes a number of contributed chapters from authors known for their expertise and clear way of explaining concepts.
HIGHLIGHTS
Major updates and improvements to numerous chapters, including shading, ray tracing, physics-based rendering, math, and sampling
Updated coverage of existing topics
The absorption and reworking of several chapters to create a more natural flow to the book
The fifth edition of Fundamentals of Computer Graphics continues to provide an outstanding and comprehensive introduction to basic computer graphic technology and theory. It retains an informal and intuitive style while improving precision, consistency, and completeness of material, allowing aspiring and experienced graphics programmers to better understand and apply foundational principles to the development of efficient code in creating film, game, or web designs.

I'm a Chicago transplant living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have a physics degree from Reed College, but discovered computers when Professor Nicolas Wheeler forced me to do a ray tracing program in 1984. It was 2D ray tracing to do a caustic on a Vax and writing out the picture to a green Techtonix terminal. This convinced me to go to grad school in computer science at Illinois. I have been ray tracing ever since. I've done stints in various universities and companies and am currently in my own start-up company doing VR which is common but not using HMDs which is not!
The principal difference is between a single rotation and two different orthogonal matrices. This difference causes another, less important, difference. Because the SVD has different singular vectors on the two sides, there is no need for negative Singular values: we can always flip the sign of a singular value, reverse the direction of one of the associated singular vectors, and end up with the same transformation again. For this reason, the SVD always produces a diagonal matrix with all positive entries. but the matrices U and V are not guaranteed to be rotations-they could include reflection as well. In geometric applications like graphics this is an inconvenience, but a minor one: it is easy to differentiate ro tations from reflections by checking the determinant, which is +1 for rota... (查看原文)
However, this type of transformation, in which one of the coordinates of the input vector appears in the denominator, can’t be achieved using affine transformations.
We can allow for division with a simple generalization of the mechanism of homogeneous coordinates that we have been using for affine transformations. (查看原文)

头一回在豆瓣上添加书。内容稍微有点多，再砍一些就更好了。
