Introduktion til computergrafik.
( english version below )
Formål:
Kurset vil give de studerende en introduktion til, og
et overblik over de vigtigste begreber, modeller, teknikker,
algoritmer og systemer for digital 3D grafik.
Efter kurset vil de studerende være i stand til at implementere
simple interaktive programmer til 3D-panoramabiografen og en
arbejdsstation.
Indhold:
Grafiske systemer indgår efterhånden i næsten alle større
programmer. Kurset vil forsøge at skabe et overblik over
de vigtigste begreber, modeller, teknikker, algoritmer og
systemer for digital 3D grafik.
Kurset vil dække områder som:
* Fundamentale egenskaber ved det digitale visualiserings-
system og den grafiske pipeline.
* Egenskaber ved de ydre enheder, som indgår i et digitalt
visualiseringssystem.
* Grundlæggende 3D grafik: modellering, rasterisering,
'texture mapping', animation, scenegrafer etc.
* 'Virtual Reality' eksemplificeret ved CAVI's
panoramabiograf.
Kurset består af to dele. Den første del ( 3. kvarter ) vil
give et overblik over de vigtigste begreber og teknikker i
computergrafik førende frem til implementation af et simpelt
interaktivt program til panoramabiografen.
Den anden del ( 4. kvarter ) følger bogen ( Møller and Haines )
tættere, og uddyber dermed emnerne fra 3. kvarter. Nogle
teknikker behandles i større detalje, og kan dermed danne
udgangspunkt for kvarterets afsluttende projekt.
Kurset tilbydes i samarbejde med CAVI ( Centre for Advanced
Visualisation and Interaction ) og der vil i nogen grad blive
lagt vægt på panoramabiografens ressourcer.
Kurset indeholder et mindre ( efter 3. kvarter ) og et større
projekt ( efter 4. kvarter ). Det er muligt at afslutte kursets
efter 3. kvarter.
Undervisningsformer:
Tre ugentlige forelæsningstimer og tre timer øvelser.
To projekter.
Evalueringsform:
Det afsluttende projekt og den tilhørende rapport danner
udgangspunkt for en mundtlig eksamen. 13 skala. Intern censur.
Omfang:
5 ECTS for 3. kvarter
10 ECTS for 3. og 4. kvarter
Undervisningsperiode:
3. kvarter eller 3. + 4. kvarter.
Underviser:
Peter Møller-Nielsen
Lærebøger:
Woo: OpenGL programming Guide ( i 3. kvarter )
Møller and Haines: Real-Time Rendering ( i 4. kvarter )
Forudsætningskrav:
Programmering og lineær algebra.
Obligatorisk program:
Et mindre projekt, som afslutter 3. kvarter, og et større,
som afslutter 4. kvarter.
Sprog:
Dansk eller engelsk
Begrænsning:
30 studerende

Introduction to Computer Graphics.
Aims:
This course will provide the students with an introduction to,
and an overview over the most important concepts, models,
techniques, algorithms and systems for digital 3D graphics.
After the course the students should be able to implement
simple interactive application for the 3D-panorama and the
work-station.
Contents:
Graphical systems are these years spreading into almost every
application area of computer science. This course will try to give an
overview of the most important concepts, models, techniques and
systems for digital 3D visualization.
The course will cover subjects like:
* Fundamental properties of the digital visualization system and
the 3D graphics pipeline.
* Physical and technical properties of the external devices that
are parts of a digital visualization system.
* Basic three-dimensional graphics: graphical modeling, rendering,
texture mapping, animation, scene graph representations,...
* Basic Virtual Reality, for example advanced display systems
(e.g. the Panorama).
The course is divided in two parts. The first part ( 3. quater ) is
giving an overview of the most important concepts in computer graphics.
leading to the implementation of a simple interactive application
for the 3D-panorama. The second part ( 4. quater ) follows the
text-book ( Møller and Haines ) more closely in order to give a
broader overwiev. A number of selected topics are treated in more
detail. The student can select one of these topics as the starting
point for the final project.
The course is offered in collaboration with CAVI (Centre for Advanced
Visualisation and Interaction), and some emphasis is put on techniques
relevant for the resources of CAVI, i.e. the Panorama.
The course will contain one minor and one major project, that the
students must finish in order to pass the course. It will be possible
to opt out after the first quarter of the course and get credit for
that.
Teaching:
Weekly lectures (3 hours per week) and a weekly workshop ( 3 hours ).
Two programming projects.
Evaluation:
Satisfactory completion of the two programming projects and a
written report by groups of 3 students, plus an oral examination; 13
scale. Internal examinator.
Credits:
5 ECTS for 3. quater alone
10 ECTS for 3. + 4. quater
Quarter:
3. quater or 3. + 4. quarter.
Lecturer:
Peter Møller-Nielsen.
Capacity limit: 30

Møller and Haines: Real-Time Rendering ( for the 4. quater ).
Prerequisites:

Compulsory programme:
A minor project after the 3. quater and a major project
after the 4. quater.
