COS 355 - Computer Graphics

Institution:

University of Maine at Farmington

Subject:

Description:

Mathematical techniques for generating computer graphics of 2- and 3- dimensional objects will be studied. Implementation of these concepts, up to and including perspective projection and 3D transformations, in a higher level language will be involved. At this point, an API (usually OpenGL) will be used to aid in the writing of more sophisticated applications involving lighting and texture mapping. A study and design of the human interaction component, dealing with graphical design interfaces and event-driven programming, occurs throughout the course. Selected additional topics may include game programming, image processing, ray tracing, and designing more complex graphical interfaces. The course has a laboratory component.
