What Is Computer Graphics? (cont…)
- “Perhaps the best way to define computer graphics is to find out what it is not. It is not a machine. It is not a computer, nor a group of computer programs. It is not the know-how of a graphic designer, a programmer, a writer, a motion picture specialist, or a reproduction specialist.
- Computer graphics is all these – a consciously managed and documented technology directed toward communicating information accurately and descriptively.”
- Computer Graphics , by William A. Fetter, 1966
Interactive Computer Graphics
- Takes things a step further by allowing users rapid visual feedback from their actions
- Typically we have the following cycle:
- This area is the focus of this course
INPUT PROCESSING DISPLAY/OUTPUT Mouse Tablet and stylus Force feedback device Scanner Live video streams
Screen Paper-based printer Video recorder Projector VR/AR headset
So?
- If we add interactivity, Fetter’s definition pretty much still holds
- So much of modern computing involves some graphical aspect that computer graphics is now ubiquitous
- So let’s say computer graphics encompasses anything achieved visually on computers
Some Applications Of Computer Graphics
- Some of the application areas which make heavy use of computer graphics are: - Computer aided design - Scientific visualisation - Films - Games - Virtual/Augmented Reality
- NOTE: There are lots more and there is huge overlap between these different areas
Exams & CA
- Exams:
- Part A of end of year exam will cover all theoretical material
- CA:
- Marks awarded for completing each lab exercise
- Two significant graphics projects using OpenGL
Books
- “Computer Graphics with OpenGL”, D. Hearn & M. P. Baker, Prentice Hall, 2003 Most of the course follows this book
“Introduction to Computer Graphics”, J.D. Foley, A. van Dam, S.K. Feiner, J.F. Hughes & R.L. Phillips, Addison Wesley, 1997
“Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice”, J.D. Foley, A. van Dam, S.K. Feiner & J.F. Hughes, Addison Wesley, 1995 Great for really in-depth theory Docsity.com
