Omschrijving | This course introduces the main concepts behind two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer graphics such as scan-conversion, transformations including the necessary linear algebra, the rendering pipeline with its stages, local and global illumination models, and shape representations. Lectures are accompanied by tutorials and practicals on OpenGL and ray-tracing, and the relevant theory and algorithms. These tutorials and practicals deepen the understanding of the presented material through discussions and implementation. The course is closely related to image processing, computer vision, scientific visualisation, linear algebra, and object-oriented techniques, and is a prerequisite for the Intelligent Systems and Visual Computing MSc specialisation at the RUG. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(The final grade of the course is derived as follows: 50% for participation in practicals and completing mandatory weekly programming assignments, and 50% for a final written exam (preferably written, perhaps digital due to covid-19). If the grade for practicals or written exam is below 5, the maximum final grade is 5. Additional information can be found in the remarks section.) |

Entreevoorwaarden | The course unit assumes the following prior knowledge: - familiarity with a mainstream (object-based) programming language, ideally C++; - having developed a small application in a mainstream programming language (over 500 lines of code); - basic calculus and linear algebra notions (univariate and bivariate functions, derivatives, gradients, matrix-vector products, inner/cross products, matrix inverse); - familiarity with basic programming data structures and algorithms (arrays, trees, lists, graphs, sorting algorithms, traversal algorithms). |

Opmerkingen | The subgrades are not rounded, but the final average, and thus grade, is rounded to the nearest half-integer with the exception of 5.5, which is not considered a half-integer and is itself rounded up to 6. -- In the academic year 2020-2021, all CS bachelor courses have limited enrollment: - CS students can always enter each course, regardless of whether the course is mandatory for them or not. - A maximum of only 20 places per course is available for non-CS students. These places are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to students with a strong CS-related background (e.g., CS exchange students, AI students, etc.). These students need to meet the course prerequisite requirements as mentioned on Ocasys. See here for more info about the enrollment procedure. -- This course was registered last year with course code INBCG-08 |
