COMPUTER GRAPHICS

COMPSCI 559
Course Description

Survey of computer graphics. Image representation, formation, presentation, composition and manipulation. Modeling, transformation, and display of geometric objects in two and three dimensions. Representation of curves and surfaces. Rendering, animation, multi-media and visualization. Fluency with vector mathematics (e.g., fromMATH 234or a linear algebra class) is recommended.

INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION

COMPSCI 565

Introduction to topics such as perception, cognition, communication, design, implementation, applications, tools, and evaluation. Provides a broad survey of the field and covers fundamental concepts, theory, and tools in data visualization with opportunities for hands-on activities. Gain real-world experience in designing and evaluating visualizations.

GRADUATE GRAPHICS WORKSHOP I

ART 736

Graduate level study in advanced graphics media. Emphasis on development of personal concepts.

INFORMATION GRAPHICS

ART 463

This course examines the theory and practice of visual representation of information. Students will learn to create effective and illuminating graphical displays of data based on four basic formulations -- location, time, category, hierarchy, and index.

VIRTUAL REALITY

COMPSCI/DS 579

Introduces students to the field of virtual reality and focuses on creating immersive, interactive virtual experiences. Survey topics include historical perspectives on virtual reality technology, computer graphics and 3D modeling, human perception and psychology, human computer interaction and user interface design. This course is designed for students with backgrounds in Computer Science, Engineering, Art, Architecture and Design. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams on projects, culminating in a final event that will be showcased to the public. While not an official uisite, the class will be technologically motivated; therefore students should be comfortable learning new software. The class will utilize publicly available game design software which provides tools and services for the creation of interactive content. While not necessary, students may find it helpful to have taken classes in programming and computer graphics (suchCOMP SCI 559: Computer Graphics) or in 3D modeling (such asART 429: 3D Digital Studio I orDS 242: Visual Communication II).

COMPUTER VISION

COMPSCI/ECE 766

Fundamentals of image analysis and computer vision; image acquisition and geometry; image enhancement; recovery of physical scene characteristics; shape-from techniques; segmentation and perceptual organization; representation and description of two-dimensional objects; shape analysis; texture analysis; goal-directed and model-based systems; parallel algorithms and special-purpose architectures. Students are strongly encouraged to have basic proficiency in calculus and linear algebra, such asMATH 340, and basic programming such asCOMP SCI 300.
