Light and Skin Interactions - Simulations for Computer Graphics Applications

Deals with one of the application areas of computer graphics: appearance simulation. This book illuminates the fundamental biophysical processes that affect skin appearance. It then examines the modeling approaches as well as definitive algorithms that can be used to generate realistic images depicting skin appearance.
