Co-requisites

Course Objectives
1. To provide a comprehensive introduction to computer graphics leading to the
ability to understand contemporary terminology, progress, issues, and trends.
2. To understand computer graphics techniques (2-D/3-D), focusing on 3D modeling,
image synthesis, and rendering.
3. Introduce geometric transformations, geometric algorithms, software systems
(OpenGL), 3D object models (surface, volume and implicit), visible surface
algorithms, image synthesis, shading and mapping, ray tracing, radiosity, global
illumination, photon mapping, and anti-aliasing.
4. To explore the interdisciplinary nature of computer graphics this is emphasized in
the wide variety of examples and applications.

Course Outcomes
At the end of the course, student will be able to
1. To develop a facility with the relevant mathematics of computer graphics, e.g., 3D
rotations are using vector algebra, geometrical transformations and projections
using homogeneous co-ordinations.
2. Apply principles and techniques of computer graphics, e.g., the graphics pipeline,
and Bresenham algorithm for speedy line and circle generation.
3. Apply computer graphics concepts in the development of computer games,
information visualization, and business applications.

Course Description:
This course focuses on 2D and 3D interactive and non-interactive graphics. This
course studies the principles underlying the generation and display of 2D and 3D computer
graphics. In this course topics include geometric modeling, 3D viewing and projection,
lighting and shading, color, and the use of one or more technologies and packages such as
OpenGL, and Blender. Course requirements usually include exam and several
programming or written homework assignments.
