CSE 457 Seattle Campus Computer Graphics Introduction to computer image synthesis and interactive computer graphics applications. Topics include computer graphics hardware, color image display, event-driven programming, line drawing, polygon scan conversion, texture mapping, image morphing, image compositing, curves and surfaces, hidden surface algorithms, local illumination models, ray tracing, and photorealistic image synthesis. This course covers the techniques of computer image synthesis, including both hardware and software. Topics include line drawing and color raster graphics, homogeneous coordinates, hidden surface, smooth shading algorithms, and curve and surface design. This course is also taught by Brian Curless.
Instruction consists primarily of lectures, readings, and project help sessions.
No prior knowledge of graphics is assumed. Class Assignments and Grading Assignments consist of a set of written homeworks and substantial projects. Grades are based on performance on the homeworks, projects, and the final exam. The information above is intended to be helpful in choosing courses. In most cases, the official course syllabus will be distributed on the first day of class.
