Course detail

Computer Graphics

FSI-SPGAcad. year: 2011/2012

This course is lectured in winter semester in the third year of mathematical engineering study. It familiarises students with basic principles of basic algorithm of computer graphics. . Lectures provide a theoretical basis of computer graphics, practicals are focuses on work with Borland DELPHI.
Lecture summary:
2-D modelling: explicit, parametric and polar curves, Ferguson, Beziere and Coons curves,
basic plane transforms and their composition, modelling of technical motions 3-D modelling: oblique and perpendicular projection, linear perspective. Explicit, parametric and polar surfaces. Beziere and Coons surfaces and their connection. Surfaces defined by border. Space figure realistic representation, hide and shading algorithm, textures.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will apply the knowledge acquired in theoretical and computer courses. This knowledge will be extended by technical curves and surfaces and real objects, as well as ability to demonstrate technical data in different ways. Students will improve the quality of algorithm construction and Delphi environment knowledge.

Prerequisites

Basic programming techniques and their implementation in Borland Delphi

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Graded course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having worked out assigned graphic program constructed in Borland DELPHI environment, and semester work – building of a greater graphic program.

Aims

Students will apply the knowledge acquired in mathematical analysis,
algebra, geometry and previous courses dealing with computers. Theoretical knowledge will be practically applied when building geometrical models of real systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
