What is Light Interaction with Human Skin: from Believable Images to Predictable Models about?

Recent research efforts in image synthesis have been directed toward the rendering of believable and predictable images of biological materials. This course addresses an important topic in this area, namely the predictive simulation of skin's appearance. The modeling approaches, algorithms and data examined during this course can be also applied to the rendering of other organic materials such as hair and ocular tissues. The first module of the course aims to provide the biophysical background required not only for the development of models of light interaction with organic materials, but also for their evaluation. It begins with a review of optics and "measurement of appearance" concepts, followed by a presentation of biological factors involved in the processes of light propagation and absorption in skin tissues. A concise review of modeling approaches used in the biomedical and related fields, and often cited by computer graphics researchers, completes this module. The second module of the course provides detailed descriptions of computer graphics models of light interaction with human skin, which include practical issues involving their implementation as well as an analysis of
