- Course Description:
- Hardware and software components of graphics systems. Output and filled data primitives. 2D and 3D geometric transformations. Two dimensional viewing: viewing pipeline, clipping, and windowing. Three dimensional viewing: viewing pipeline, viewing parameters, projections, viewing transformations, clipping, visible surface detection. Introduction to illumination models and surface rendering.
- Course Objectives:
- CENG 477 Introduction to Computer Graphics introduces the basic concepts of computer graphics and raster based methods. It also provides the necessary theoretical background for introductory computer graphics and demonstrates the application of computer science to graphics. It also offers an opportunity for students to formulate and implement applications of computer graphics. This course further allows students to develop programming skills in computer graphics by programming assignments.
