- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to give the students an overview of the basic algorithms and methods for rendering and data representations used in computer graphics. The gained knowledge will enable the students to understand a vast range of computer graphics tasks, including their mathematical background. Within the seminars, students will implement selected basic algorithms explained in the lectures. Therefore, at least basic programming skills are required.
- Learning outcomes
- After finishing the course, the students
- will orient themselves in a broad spectrum of computer graphics problems;
- will understand the underlying math foundations and programming principles in computer graphics;
- gain practical knowledge in programming selected algorithms. - Syllabus
- Introduction to computer graphics and its application areas.
- Differences between raster and vector graphics.
- Basic graphical primitives and algorithms for their rasterization. Sampling, reconstruction, antialiasing.
- Algorithms for closed area filling.
- Representation and modeling of 3D objects.
- Curves and surfaces.
- 2D and 3D transformations, projection.
- Clipping.
- Visibility, scene hierarchy representation.
- Color, color models, color perception.
- Basic lighting models, shading, texturing.
- Ray tracing, basics of photorealistic and physically-based rendering.

- Teaching methods
- Theoretical lectures covering the fundamentals, methods, and algorithms of computer graphics. Seminar work is focused on the programming of selected algorithms and solving theoretical tasks. Students will be provided with a CMake C++ project. Solving a programming task then requires implementing a selected algorithm into clearly marked places in the project. Students will work on five compulsory assignments, introduced and explained at the seminars. Study materials will include lecture slides, recordings of lectures, and recommendations for further reading on specific topics (however, the content of these additional materials won't be required at the exam).
- Assessment methods
- Five programming assignments (introduced at the seminars) completed within the given deadlines (30% of the grade). Final written exam (70% of the grade).
- Language of instruction
- English
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- The course is taught annually.
- Listed among pre-requisites of other courses
- Teacher's information
- All materials will be available in the Information system.
