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 and to engage actively in discussion during contact hours. They acquaint with the contemporary computer graphics trends and improve theirs rhetorical skills.

Syllabus

• Classical and current research papers related to computer graphics. Topics (examples): Global illumination. Surface representations and LOD. Textures. Animation. Plenoptic maps. Special rendering effects. Students read selected papers, present topics at seminar and discuss them in the wider 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 some main topics of current research at the beginning of semester and they assign the selected papers. Students prepare and lecture the presentations. The goal is to approach the state of the art and estimate the unsolved areas. Students are able to affect the seminar form by theme selection.

Assessment methods

Colloquium is based on the quality of students presentations and on the active participation in discussions.

Language of instruction

Czech
