Catalog description

Computer Graphics Visualization is used throughout society, including science, engineering, enterprises, politics, art, etc., for visualizing data and processes. Visualization is crucial for mining usable information from the ever increasing amounts of data and ever more complex procedural relationships of today’s society. This course introduces the foundations for computer graphics visualization: basics of visual thinking and perception, techniques for visualization, such as maps, time series, trees, graphs, etc., and applications, such as in medical imaging, biochemistry, social sciences, etc. The course also teaches developing visualizations using a standard programming system. Visualizations will be demonstrated using online material, such as Many Eyes or Google Maps. Prerequisite: CSAS 4121 or permission or instructor.
