Geometric Modelling

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

Students will be acquanted with fundamentals of geometric modelling,

visualization techniques and principles of information visualization.

Various methods for object description are discussed both from geometric and

topological points of view. Very important part of the course are methods

for scientific visualization. Besides methods suitable for technical

applications also methods for information visualization are discussed.

Requirements:

Students will be credited on the base of semestral project. The extent of exam will be given by the contents of lectures.
