Description
This lecture starts with the technical and biological fundamentals of image representation and perception. Based on physical considerations regarding material properties and lighting, we will discuss image generation by means of raytracing. We will also treat efficient geometric modeling of virtual worlds, as well as texturing of surfaces. Interactive 3D graphics will be based on GPU programming using OpenGL. Rasterization of lines and polygons into image pixels and the representation of curves and surfaces will also be addressed.
