Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

prof. Dr. Ing. Pavel Zemčík, dr. h. c.

Department

Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia (UPGM)

Entry knowledge

Basic computer graphics course, eventually other comparable course depending on the studied bachelor or master field of study.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

  • Individual seminar

During the course, it is necessary to submit the project and pass the exam. Teaching is performed as lectures and controlled seminars, the missed classes need to be replaced by self-study.

Aims

To get acquainted with modern methods of visualization tasks. To get acquainted with methods for efficient scene rendering. To learn to independently evaluate sources of information on WWW and in literature from the vizualization and graphics field. To get acquainted with methods used for technical applications and data processing.
The students will get acquainted with modern methods of 3D graphics rendering for analysis of graphics and visualization tasks. They will also get acquainted with methods for efficient scene rendering and learn to independently evaluate sources of information on WWW and in literature from the computer graphics field. Students will also get acquainted with methods used for technical applications and data processing.
Excercising of the ability to independently solve problems in the field of visualization and grphics, ability to process literature sources.

Syllabus

In the first part of semester, teaching is through standard "lectures of teacher to students".

Breakdown of topics (example):

  1. Introduction to the course, brief evaluation and "mapping of knowledge", planning of the lecture topics
  2. Rasterization methods used in vizualization, computer graphics techniques for vizualization
  3. Vizualization methods for scientific data and measurement results
  4. Vizualiazation of vector fields and similar types of (non-scalar) data
  5. Non-realistic rendering - artificial colour, nonrealistic shading
  6. Visualiztion of special data from the field of information technologies
  7. Conclusion of lectures, finalization of presentation topics

In the next part of semester, the course is conducted through a series of seminars where students present a presentation on topic of their choice that is followed by a discussion.

Guided consultation in combined form of studies

26 hod., optionally
