Course overview

Fig. 1, Photo-realistic image generated by ray tracing method. (Image excerpted from PovRay homepage)

In this course we will discuss various topics to create 2D images computationally generated from three dimensional model representations. Particularly, we will focus on the following topic:

Transformations and projections

Interaction

Rasterization

Hidden surface removal

Lighting, shadow, and shading

Model represetations (triangle meshes, curves, and surfaces)

Texture mapping

Ray tracing

Global illumination

Graphics hardware

What you will get at the end of the course:

Broad understanding on various topics related to computer graphics, geometric problems, and visualization

Programming skill and mathematical tools related to computer graphics and geometric problems.
