课程内容简介(Course Introduction):

Computer graphics started with the display of data on hardcopy plotters and cathode ray tube screens soon after the introduction of computers themselves. It has grown to include the creation, storage, and manipulation of models and images of objects. These models come from a diverse and expanding set of fields, and include physical, mathematical, engineering, architectural, and even conceptual structures, natural phenomena, and so on. Computer graphics today is largely interactive: The user controls the contents, structure, and appearance of objects and of their displayed images by using input devices, such as a keyboard, mouse or touch-sensitive panel on the screen. Because of the close relationship between the input devices and the display, the handling of such devices is included in the study of computer graphics. In this course, we will introduce the basic raster graphics algorithms for drawing 3d primitives, geometric transformations in 2D and 3D space, viewing in 3D, representing curves and surfaces, visual reality and computer animation. This course provides the basis for graphics algorithm design, CAD software development and game development. Additional materials will be introduced with the recent progress in the fields of game design, computer animation and image processing. Meanwhile, the students are required to use some well-known software, such as Maya, AutoCAD.
