Digital Representations of the Real World
Abstract
The book presents the state-of-the-art of how to create photo-realistic digital models of the real world. It is the result of work by experts from around the world, offering a comprehensive overview of the entire pipeline from acquisition, data processing, and modelling to content editing, photo-realistic rendering, and user interaction.

Motivated by the advent of mass-market head-mounted immersive displays, we set out to pioneer the technology needed to experience recordings of the real world with the sense of full immersion as provided by VR goggles.
Scope of "Reality CG" is to pioneer a novel approach to modelling, editing and rendering in computer graphics. Instead of manually creating digital models of virtual worlds, Reality CG will explore new ways to achieve visual realism from the kind of approximate models that can be derived from conventional, real-world imagery as input.
