Basics of Geomatics

by Mario A. Gomarasca ...

Geomatics is a neologism, the use of which is becoming increasingly widespread, even if it is not still universally accepted. It includes several disciplines and te- niques for the study of the Earth’s surface and its environments, and computer science plays a decisive role. A more meaningful and appropriate expression is G- spatial Information or GeoInformation. Geo-spatial Information embeds ... Read more

從零開始了解電腦圖學

從像素到光影的完整旅程

by 零的零次方 ...

Series series 從零開始
遊戲裡的即時光影、電影裡以假亂真的角色，這些畫面都是電腦一個像素一個像素算出來的。問題是：怎麼算？本書順著渲染管線從頭走到尾：先用向量與矩陣把三維世界擺進螢幕座標，光柵化把三角形變成像素，著色與貼圖給表面顏色與質感，再進到光線追蹤與 PBR（物理式渲染）如何逼近真實的光，最後看動畫、以及現代即時渲染在效能與品質之間的取捨。每個主題先講「它要解決什麼問題」，再講做法，數學只在需要時出場。讀完不見得馬上寫得出引擎，但你會看懂每個畫面背後真正發生的事，而那常常比畫面本身更迷人。適合玩家、想入門圖學的工程師、技術美術，以及所有對「螢幕裡的世界怎麼來」好奇的人。《從零開始》系列的每一本，都為沒有背景的讀者而寫：先給直覺與比喻，需要時才端出數學與細節，把一個領域鋪成一條可以自學走完的路。 ...
