Introduction to Computer Graphics

Catalog description

Fundamental concepts in 2D and 3D computer graphics, e.g., 2D raster graphics techniques and simple image processing. Focuses on geometric transformations, and 3D modeling, viewing and rendering. A sequence of assignments in C++ culminates in a simple geometric modeler and ray tracer. Prerequisite: CSCI 0160 , CSCI 0180 , CSCI 0190 , or CSCI 0200 . Some knowledge of basic linear algebra is helpful but not required. Strong object-oriented programming ability (e.g., in C++, Java or Python) is required.
