Image Synthesis in Consideration of a Human Visual System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Visual Language of Technique

Abstract

In recent years, a lot of images are generated with computer graphics techniques. In fact, some of them are instantaneously generated by real-time rendering based on physical simulation or optical simulation. However, it is important to consider a human visual system including its psychological and cognitive aspects, because images are synthesized for presenting to human beings. This paper introduces some of the results we have studied in consideration of a human visual system.
