  1. Computer Graphics/and MultimediaCMM472/CIT773 What is CG ?, History of CG, Course Overview

  2. Introduction • Story of CG • Producing image using computer • 40 years ago : display a few line on CRT • Now generated images are indistinguishable from photographs Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  3. Application of CG • Depends on the user community need • Advance of hardware and software • Area of CG • Display information • Design • Simulation • User interface Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  4. Display Information • Classical using spoken and written language • Drawing field • Babylonians (4000 years ago) use stone for floor plan • Greek (2000 years ago) till Renaissance • Has idea of architecture graphically • Before today use manual drafting and drawing • Today : computer based system • Able to develop and manipulated in real-time Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  5. Graph and Charts Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  6. Information as spreadsheet Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  7. CG Applications • Statistic • 100 years : explored the techniques for plotting data • Now, computer plotting package provided variety of technique, color tools etc. • Medicine • Interested in data-analysis problems • Image technology, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  8. Patient having MRI scan Example of MRI scan result Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  9. Ultrasound 2D ultrasound Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  10. Ultrasound con’t 3D - ultrasound Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  11. Design • Engineer, architecture using CAD • Iterative process for best or optimize solution • Ex. Mechanical parts, VLSI etc. • CAD package has interactive tools ex. menu, tool bar • interactive interface and analyze etc. • Able to generate different image, different view Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  12. CAD-example Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  13. Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  14. Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  15. Simulation • Refer to capable of generating images in real-time • Applied with advance hardware • Ex. Training Pilot, Flight simulator • Some special VLSI chip able to generate sophisticate game • Photo realistic movie • Together with headset led her has stereoscopic effect by different view for each eye Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  16. User Interface • GUI from OS like MS windows, X windows, Macintosh OS • Use of menu and icon, mouse • Different only in detail Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  17. Graphical System • 5 major elements • Processor, memory, frame buffer, output devices and input devices • General for every system Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  18. Computer art Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  19. Pixel and Frame buffer • Picture is produced as array of pixel (raster) • Pixel are stored in Frame buffer memory : VRAM for fast redisplay • Depth : number of bits for each pixel • 24 bit has true color system : RGB system • Resolution : number of pixel in frame buffer Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  20. Pixels. Image of Yeti the cat Detail of area around one eye showing individual pixel. Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  21. Output Device • Domain type : CRT display • Computer convert display signal from digital to analog to control plate • Refresh rate : rate for retrace the screen at least 50 times per second The cathode-ray tube (CRT) Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  22. 2 systems for refresh rate • In order to avoid flicker of display • Interlace display : • Odd row and even row are refresh alternately • Noninterlace display • Display scan in one time row by row Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  23. Color display system Shadow-mask CRT Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  24. Images • Computer generate synthetic images • Lighting , shading and properties involve many aspect of image formation Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  25. Object and Viewers in CG • Object references • Shape referred by object point to reference coordinate system • Position • Geometric primitives : eg. point, line etc. • Viewer • One who observe object ( man, camera etc.) • The same object different image for different place Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  26. Image seen by three different viewers A’s view C’s view B’s view Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  27. Image forming in real camera Viewer and object are both in 3D system but the formed image is 2D Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  28. Light and Images • Make an image more realistic • Light from source strike and reflect from object enter the camera give some surface detail to the viewer A camera system with a light source Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  29. Ray tracing • The strike and illuminate ray that interact the object surface is the ray that make an image to viewer Scene with single point source Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  30. Ray tracing B F C E D A Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  31. Source of light • Light travels in straight line to object • Point source • Light from single location emit equally in all direction • Light bulb • Emitting over an area, more in one direction • More sources can be modeled by a number of point sources • Monochromatic light : source of single frequency Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  32. Receptor: Human Visual system • Extremely complex • Response to 350 nm to 780 nm light • Sensor :3 type cone cell and 1 type of rod cell The human visual system Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  33. Resolution : how large object size that can see • Intensity: the measure of light energy • Brightness : how perceive intense light that emitted form object • Eyes do not have the same response like monochromatic • Red light and green light with same intensity have different to us

  34. CIE standard observer curve Cone sensitivity Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  35. Pinhole Camera: How image build on projection plane • Simple geometric model to understand how image contribute Side view of pinhole camera Pinhole camera Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  36. Properties • Infinite depth of field • Disadvantage • Admits only single ray • Unable to adjust to different angle of view q : view angle

  37. The synthetic camera model • Learn to understand that the specification of the object is different from the viewer Imaging system Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  38. Equivalent views of image formation (a) With image formed on the back of camera (b) With image plane move in front of the camera Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  39. Imaging with the synthetic camera Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  40. Image Clipping Clipping (a) with window in initial position, and (b) with window shifted. Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  41. Application Programmer Interface Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  42. Application model for programmer Application programmer’s model of software Applied Computer Science and Multimedia, SIE&T

  43. Set of function reside in a graphics library API should match the conceptual model that the user wish to employ to the specific images Available API: OpenGL, PHIGS, Direct3D, VRML and JAVA-3D Specification of the synthetic camera model Objects Viewer Light source Material Properties
