Overview of Use of Computer

Graphics
Since earlier several decades there is use of sophisticated
imaging and digital imaging. After the discovery of X-rays,
these rays were being used to reveal under drawings. After
that infrared photography and reflectography were also used
for this purpose. Multispectral, fluorescence and ultra-violet
imaging also became then popular.
In the past few years, however, we have entered a new era:
one where some of the image interpretation relies in great
part upon sophisticated algorithms developed from
computer vision, the discipline seeking to make computers
see. computers can analyse certain aspects of perspective,
lighting, colour, the subtleties of the shapes of brush strokes
better than even a trained art scholar, and artist

Graphics
Color: Computers don't create colour exactly the way we
see it. Computers typically display colour in three
components - red, green, and blue. When combined, these
three colours make the full-colour image seen in the upper
left of this image. By controlling colour display, we can
simulate on the computer different kinds of colour
blindness.
Radiosity: Radiosity is a global illumination algorithm
used in 3D computer graphics rendering. Radiosity is a
method of rendering based on a detailed analysis of light
reflections off diffuse surfaces.. Radiosity is typically used
to render images of the interior of buildings, and can
achieve extremely photo-realistic results for scenes that
are comprised of diffuse reflecting surfaces.

Shading: Shading techniques extend the realistic appearance of
objects and introduce features such as transparency and textures.
This vase has been modelled as a symmetrical pattern of verticallyoriented surfaces - tiny flat patches which approximate the round
shape of the vase. In this image, each tiny surface is shaded
separately with a different gray value based on its orientation to
the light source.

By introducing a technique called Gouraud shading, we can smooth

out the appearance of the vase and hide the individual surfaces
from view. The shading is varied on each surface in proportion to
values calculated at the edges and from neighbouring surfaces.
