A framework for realistic image synthesis [PDF]
Proceedings of the 24th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques - SIGGRAPH '97, 1997 Our goal is to develop physically based lighting models and perceptually based rendering procedures for computer graphics that will produce synthetic images that are visually and measurably indistinguishable from real-world images. Fidelity of the physical simulation is of primary concern.

Parallel, Realistic and Controllable Terrain Synthesis
Computer Graphics Forum, 2015 AbstractThe challenge in terrain synthesis for virtual environments is to provide a combination of precise user control over landscape form, with interactive response and visually realistic results.We present a system that builds on parallel pixel‐based texture synthesis to enable interactive creation of an output terrain from a database of heightfield

International Journal of Qualitative Methods, 2019 Realist evaluations are increasingly used in the study of complex health interventions. The methodological procedures applied within realist evaluations however are often inexplicit, prompting scholars to call for increased transparency and more detailed

Imperfection for realistic image synthesis
The Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, 1990 AbstractCreating objects with surface imperfections is accomplished through texture specification and generation techniques. Based on fractal subdivision techniques and relatively simple distribution models, a wide class of surface imperfections may be generated, combined and rendered.

What works for whom in the management of diabetes in people living with dementia: a realist review
BMC Medicine, 2017 Background Dementia and diabetes mellitus are common long-term conditions and co-exist in a large number of older people. People living with dementia (PLWD) may be less able to manage their diabetes, putting them at increased risk of complications such ...
