Image Acquisition
Modern image acquisition methods allow a representation of all image
structures at a high resolution, as one can see from this magnetic
resonance image of a mouse embryo.

Image Acquisition
Acoustic microscopy is an imaging method that allows to display
mechanical properties such as cell stiffness on a micrometer scale.

|
Computational Geometry
Computational geometry belongs to the important foundations for
computer graphics. This image shows a quadric.

Image Analysis
Image processing deals with methods that transform a digital image into
another one that is more useful for humans or computers. Deblurring
a distorted image is a typical example.

Image Synthesis
One of the main goals of computer graphics is to create highly
realistic simulations of our 3-D world, e.g. by sophisticated
ray tracing methods.

From Real World Images to Synthetic Models
The Max Planck image shows the entire chain from image acquisition by a
3-D scanner over a surface representation to a realistic 3-D model.

Application to Internet Services
Images that can be understood by humans and not by computers
avoid the misuse of internet services. Computer graphics and
pattern recognition methods allow the synthesis and validation of
such images.
