Code & No: CS 310

Credits: 3 (3,0,1)

Computer Graphics Pre-requisite: CS 120

Co-requisite: None

Level: 7

Course Description:

This course will provide basic techniques on computer graphics, including software, hardware and
applications. This course assumes good background in programming using C or C++, mathematics and linear
algebra. Major topics include introduction to basic computer graphics, 2D and 3D transformations, curve
modeling, and illumination and surface rendering approaches. Concepts and graphics algorithms will be
reinforced using standard application program interface (e.g. OpenGL).

Course Aims:

The aim of this course is to allow students to acquire knowledge of understanding Computer
Graphics Systems, specifically;
1. The fundamental display algorithms for raster graphics systems
2. The mathematical nature of 2- and 3-D environments
3. The properties of surfaces and their simulation

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):

1. Understand the foundations of computer graphics: hardware systems, math basis, light and color.
2. Implement key components of the rendering pipeline, especially visibility, characterization,
viewing, and shading to understand issues involved in implementing other components.
3. Evaluate the complexities of modeling realistic objects through modeling complex scenes using a
high-level scene description language.
4. Identify some advanced topics in computer graphics; these might include texturing, animation,
physically-based modeling, procedural modeling, curves and surfaces, global illumination,
interaction, visualization, and virtual reality.
