Fifth Generation Graphics Hardware

在过去的三十年里，计算机图形学研究创造了提高计算机生成图像的真实感和生成速度的技术。然而，目前还没有广泛使用的方法来创建逼真的图像，在实践中仍然很难创建逼真的图像。这个项目旨在开发一种实用的方法来创造逼真的图像，以解决图形和感知界认为突出的视觉效果。该方法的目的是健壮、相对简单，并在未来十年具有交互的潜力。快速生成逼真图像的能力在许多应用程序中都很有用。例如，飞行和驾驶模拟器依赖于逼真的图像，但这些系统的交互性质限制了可行的真实感。拟议的工作应该扩大这些限制。拟议的方法还将有助于生成用于规划和教育的图像；可以创建图像以帮助将重建工作、生境变化和城市规划的结果可视化。最后，该方法应该有助于生成用于输入到自动车辆的合成图像，在自动车辆中，可以快速且低成本地生成许多不同的场景和大气条件。

Over the last thirty years computer graphics research has created technology that improves both the realism and generation speed of computer-generated images. However, there is no widely used method for creating realistic images, and it remains difficult in practice to create realistic images. This project aims to develop a practical method for realistic image creation that addresses the visual effects believed to be salient by the graphics and perception communities. The method is intended to be robust, relatively simple, and to have the potential to be interactive in the next decade.The ability to rapidly generate realistic images is useful in many applications. For example, flight and driving simulators rely on realistic imagery, but the interactive nature of these systems limits the realism that is feasible. The proposed work should extend these limits. The proposed method would also be useful for generating images for planning and education; images could be created to help visualize the results of reconstruction efforts, habitat change, and urban planning. Finally the method should be useful for generating synthetic images for input to automated vehicles, where many different scenes and atmospheric conditions could be generated rapidly and at low expense.
