Title:

Perception in Computer Graphics

Abstract:

Creating realistic images has been a major focs in the study of computer graphics for much of its history. Fidelity of the physical simulation is usually of primary concern. However, creating an exact physical model is impossible. Human visual system has limitations but also the ability to 'see' the world. These facts help us to solve some problems that are hard in physical simulation.
