Digital Imaging Giving a Feeling of the Silver Halide Photography

Abstract

We are attempting to construct a virtual reality system of silver photography process which consists of simulation program and CG animation. Simulation of latent image formation is prepared based on a theory of the Poisson statistics combined with threshold limitation for incident quanta. Development is regarded as an electrode reaction on development center (latent image). In CG animation we can select camera, film, scene, exposure condition, and developer, and according to the selected parameters the photographic processes virtually take place through simulation to show us an image.
