Record 3 1998-12-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
DEF

Smooth variation of surface intensity over a triangle or quadrilateral computed by bilinearly interpolating the intensities from the vertices.

CONT

Since Gouraud shading does not interpolate color intensity in the middle of polygons, any specular reflection there would not be visible.

CONT

Gouraud shading's limitations are its lack of highlight rendering.

OBS

Originated by Henri Gouraud, 1971.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infographie
DEF

Algorithme déterminant l'intensité lumineuse au niveau de chaque sommet du polygone, puis l'intensité de chaque pixel de la ligne de balayage par une interpolation bilinéaire.

CONT

Le lissage de Gouraud donne au maillages de polygones un aspect arrondi sur leur surface, ce qui permet de limiter le nombre de polygones employés tout en conservant une bonne qualité de rendu.

OBS

Le lissage de Gouraud ne calcule pas réellement l'intensité lumineuse de chaque pixel mais l'évalue en chacun des sommets du polygone en cours de traitement.
