Course objectives
The participants of research seminar discuss classical and current research papers related to computer graphics. Students are expected to read relevant research papers, prepare and give presentations and to engage actively in discussion during seminar hours. They get acquainted with the contemporary computer graphics trends and improve their rhetorical skills.
Syllabus
  • The study of classical and current research papers related to computer graphics. At the beginning of semestr, students are offered a selection of new research papers published at the most important conferences on Computer Graphics and related areas. The papers are selected from the latest conferences SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, EUROGRAPHICS or similar. Students chose a research paper and then they look up appropriated "predecessor" paper. They prepare and give 2 presentations of research articles, predecessor paper followed by the latest paper. Students present the latest research advances and discuss them in the broad context.
Literature
  • ACM Digital Library: SIGGRAPH, Virtual Reality Conf.Proc., EUROGRAPHICS
Teaching methods
The seminar teaching is based on student prepared presentations only. Teachers propose several main topics of current research at the beginning of semester and students assign the selected papers. Students prepare and give the presentations. The goal is to approach the state of the art and estimate the unsolved areas. Students influence the seminar focus by theme selection.
Assessment methods
Colloquium assesment is based on the quality of students presentations and on the active participation in discussions.
