The objective of this course is to provide the CS graduate student with a foundation in Computer Graphics. The student will have a thorough understanding of graphics architecture concepts, coordinate systems, 3D representation and transformations, introduction to illuminations, the graphics pipeline, and scan conversion algorithms. Several laboratory exercises will allow the student to apply the topics and algorithms covered in class. This course will provide the student with the necessary foundation to develop computer graphics applications.
