Course Summary
The goal of this course is to provide a broad introduction to the field of Computer Graphics. Basic principles and techniques that are commonly used in the graphics industry today (such as in computer animation, games, and production of special effects) will be described and practiced.
Topics that will be covered by this course include: displays, image formation, images (pixels, sampling, aliasing), image processing (blurring, de-noising, contrast enhancement), color, transformations (viewing and projection), modeling (primitives, hierarchies, geometry, polygon meshes, smooth curves and surfaces, procedural models), animation (keyframes, dynamics), rendering and realism (shading, texturing, lighting, shadows, visibility, ray tracing), and programmable graphics hardware.
