1. 고급 컴퓨터 그래픽스(Advanced Computer Graphics) Chung-Ang University. CSE Dept. Bong-Soo Sohn

2. Course Overview • Level : CSE graduate course • No required text.We will use lecture notes and on-line materials • This course requires high level C/C++ programming skills • Format • Instructor lectures on graphics basics and OpenGL programming. • Student presentation and discussion on graphics programming & advanced topics • Conducting individual projects and presentation • Course Objective • Broad understanding of basic computer graphics • Apply computer graphics knowledge to real graphics programming • Deep experience with recent advanced topics

3. Graphics vs Vision • Computer Vision • Understanding the “content” of an obtained image (usually by creating a “model” of the depicted scene) • Computer Graphics • Creating an image from a computer model • Image Processing • Processing an image into another form of an image or features 3D Model 2D Image Graphics Vision

4. Computer Graphics Introduction • Imaging : representing 2D images • Modeling : representing 3D objects • Rendering : drawing 2D images from 3D models • Animation : models/scenes deform & move Rendering Modeling Animation
