Synopsis:

This course provides you with the fundamentals of data structures commonly used in computer graphics. In contrast to standard binary search trees used in one dimension, the presented theory focuses on multidimensional data used to describe 3D scenes. In addition to the theory, the course emphasizes individual and team projects, where the importance and advantages of multidimensional data are demonstrated on practical examples. The students will gain practical experience through their own individual projects.

Requirements:

Space and runtime complexity of algorithms, binary trees and heaps, tree balancing, search algorithms, priority queues, fundamentals of von Neumann architecture, and good knowledge of C++. The knowledge of C++ will be checked during the first exercise.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Lectures overview, review of sorting and searching, review of computer graphics algorithms, questions to the course, rules of the game. Introduction to hierarchical and regular data structures used in CG.

2. Incidence operations used in computer graphics

3. Point based representations and data structures

4. Object based and image based representations in 2D and 3D

5. Proximity search and its applications I.

6. Proximity search and its application II.

7. High-dimensional search algorithms.

8. Ray shooting and its applications I.

9. Ray shooting and its applications II.

10. Visibility algorithms based on z-buffer I.

11. Visibility algorithms based on z-buffer II.

12. Static collision detection.

13. Advanced collision detection.

14. Reserved.
