Module/Course Description
Course Title: Computer Graphics
Course Code: UU-COM-3007
Credits: 12.00
Course Description:
Objectives of the Course:
• Introduce students to the design and construction of models that represent information in ways that support the creation and viewing of images.
• Provide practical experience to two-dimensional and three-dimensional transformations, i.e. scaling, rotations, translation, and sheering,
• Introduce students to the design of devices and techniques through which a person may interact with the model or the view.
• Introduce students to techniques for rendering a model, and the design of ways the image may be presented.
• Provide practical experience to API programming using OpenGL.
• Introduce students to a three-dimensional environment for enhancing interaction between a human user and a computer-created world.
Learning Outcomes:
• Distinguish the capabilities of different levels of graphics software and describe the appropriateness of each.
• Create images using a standard graphics API.
• Use the facilities provided by a standard API to express basic transformations such as scaling, rotation, translation, and sheering.
• Describe the appropriateness of graphics architecture for given applications.
• Explain the function of different input devices.
• Compare and contrast the techniques of raster graphics and vector graphics.
• Use current hardware and software for creating and displaying graphics.
• Create simple polyhedral models by surface tessellation.
• Construct CSG models from simple primitives, such as cubes and quadric surfaces.
• Generate a mesh representation from an implicit surface.
• Explain the operation of Bresenham algorithm for rendering a line or pixelbased display.
• Demonstrate rendering techniques by creating an image using API.
• Describe how a graphics image has been created.
