CS602 : Computer Graphics

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

Computer Graphics is the study of basic concepts and principles of graphics. Topics include an introduction to the basic concepts, 2-D and 3-D modeling and transformations, viewing transformations, projections, rendering techniques, graphical software packages and graphics systems. Students will use a standard computer graphics API (OpenGL) to reinforce concepts and study fundamental computer graphics algorithms.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, you should be able to

  • Describe and explain the significance of Computer Graphics
  • Know how to handle difficult designing issues related to Computer Graphics
  • Describe the fundamental 2D and 3D algorithms used in computer graphics
  • Explain low-level techniques (raster graphics, display lists, transformations)
  • Discuss high-level algorithms (shading methods, animation, solids modeling, HLHSR, anti-aliasing)
  • Implement the mathematics required to create 2D and 3D images in a view volume
  • Be able to design and implement models of surfaces, lights, sounds, and textures (with texture transformations) using a 3D graphics API.
  • Apply OpenGL functions to implement what you learned
  • Put into practice features of Computer Graphics
