    2. Reading list Introduction to Computer Graphics Foley, Van Dam and Feiner, Hughes, Phillips Addison-Wesley Computer Graphics, Principles and Practice Foley, Van Dam,Feiner, Hughes Addison Wesley. Old Leaving Cert maths books !?!

    3. What is computer graphics? Pictures Video Image processing / analysis GUIs 3D Modelling Virtual Reality

    4. Pictures Varoius formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG…

    5. Video .mov, .avi, .wmv, DivX, Quicktime…

    6. Image processing / analysis Filters, image enhancement, medical imaging, astronomy… Edge detection, face recognition…

    7. Graphical User Interface (GUI) W.I.M.P - Windows, icons,menu, pointers

    8. 3D Modelling Cartesian Coordinate System Transformations Clipping Hidden line removal Lighting

    9. 3D Modelling Cartesian Coordinate System Transformations Clipping Hidden line removal Lighting

    10. 3D Modelling Cartesian Coordinate System Transformations Clipping Hidden line removal Lighting

    11. VR Fully immersive, interactive 3D displays

    12. Course content The emphasis of the course is on the algorithms and techniques used to develop realistic views of three dimensional objects modelled in the computer. Developing views will involve problems of scaling, rotation, translation, curves, and hidden surface removal. Aim to put the theory to practice through the use of the graphics language ‘processing’

    13. Course content What will be covered: Raster displays Cartesian Coordinate System Introduction to ‘Processing’ language 2D Transformation, Scaling & Rotation 2D Transformation using matrices 3D Transformation, Scaling & Rotation using martices Simple animation/interaction Surface Modelling Hidden-Surface Problem.

    14. Computer graphics = Maths Can’t stress this enough! Primarily… matrices, trigonometry and calculus.

    15. Practical work http://www.processing.org/ “ Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and sound. It is used by students, artists, designers, architects, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. ”

    16. Next week… Raster displays Cartesian Coordinate System Introduction to ‘Processing’ language 2D Transformation, Scaling & Rotation
