T. Dobashi et al., IMPLEMENTATION OF A PEARL VISUAL SIMULATOR BASED ON BLURRING AND INTERFERENCE, IEEE-ASME TRANSACTIONS ON MECHATRONICS, 3(2), 1998, pp. 106-112
Visual simulation using computer graphics has attracted wide attention
in many fields. In this paper, we propose a method of modeling and vi
sualizing pearls to implement a pearl visual simulator. Pearls manifes
t a very specific optical phenomenon. To investigate this feature, we
propose an optical model of blurring and pearl interference. The exper
imental results show that the physics-based modeling of internal blurr
ing in the multilayer of a pearl and the partial coherent interference
model are effective for high-quality pearl visualization.
