Abstract
Recently a remarkable progress was seen in computer graphics. In addition to a traditional vector-type graphic device, the debut and popularization of a raster-type color one signify the said progress. Computer graphics are expanding not only in CAD fields but also in visual application fields as landscape simulation, computer art, animation, etc. With this background, we introduce a visual design system which applys computer graphics to a visual environment planning/designing area.
This paper discusses the arrangement of requirements for a visual design system and deals with graphic functions of the A-IDAS system. In addition, the color system with the HVC (Hue, Value, Chroma) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is introduced for easy manipulation of natural color spectrum. Image processing techniques necessary to a visual design system are also mentioned with realistic examples. This visual design system will be a powerful tool with regard to a visual environment planning/design, especially a townscape design, a landscape design, an interior design and a thematic map production.
