20810261 - Computer Graphics


This course aims at illustrating the modern software and hardware computer graphics architectures, and at providing mathematical, technical and methodological solutions for the development of projects concerning the visualization of data in 2D or 3D. The course will expose base concepts in computer graphics such as spaces, curves, surfaces and volumes, focusing on notions and algorithms currently used in scientific visualization, videogames, and computer animation. Moreover, this course aims at exposing details of hardware and software platforms currently in use.
