Research, development, and applications in computer graphics have dramatically expanded in recent years. Because of decreasing prices, superior hardware is now being used and image quality is better than ever. Many people now require image-synthesis techniques and software for their applicaions. Moreover, the techniques of computer ani­ mation have become very popular. In this book, we present a wide range of applications of computer graphics. This book is a collection of 44 papers in various areas of computer graphics selected from papers presented at Graphics Interface '85. Graphics Interface '85, held from May 27 to 31 in Montreal, was the first truly international computer graphics conference in Canada. This year, for the first time, the conference was presented jointly by the Com­ puter Graphics Society and the Canadian Man-Computer Communications Society. This new arrangement gave the conference international scope. The conference was spon­ sored by the Department of Communications in Ottawa, the Department of Science and Technology in Quebec, Supply and Services Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineer­ ing Research Council of Canada, Hydro-Quebec, the \"Association Canadienne Fran«aise pour I' Avancement des Sciences\", and the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora­ tion. Graphics Interface '85 was organized by \"1'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales\" of the University of Montreal. Over 100 papers were submitted to the conference , but 64 were selected by the inter­ national program committee for presentation. This book contains new expanded versions of the papers. | Computer-generated Images by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
