Course guarantor:

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Software Engineering

Synopsis:

The course builds on graphic courses (mainly BI-PGA and BI-PGR) and the knowledge from these courses is deepened by state-of-the-art knowledge.

The course is designed for those interested in advanced computer graphics. Students will gain practical knowledge with realistic texturing and raytracing methods.

An integral part of the course is the study of scientific articles and their subsequent implementation.

The course will be followed by a course PG2 supplementing the knowledge of PG1 on other areas and topics of computer graphics.

Requirements:

A highly recommended prerequisite is completion of the courses BI-PGA and BI-PGR.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to the topic, continuity of previous graphic objects

2. Color spaces and models

3. Texture and material

4. BRDF

5. BTF

6. Approximative BTF models

7. Data structures for PG - top to bottom

8. Data structures for PG - bottom-up

9. Ray tracing

10. Ray tracing - advanced methods

11. Radiosity

12. Presentation of resulting renderings

13. Reserve

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction, system of semestral works

2. Application of texture and material, differences.

3. Application of BRDF and BTF to the real scene

4. Data structures in PG

5. Selection of paper for semestral work

6. Presentation of selected DS

Study Objective:

Graduates will have information about realistic texturing, basic data structures in computer graphics and will be able to apply the most commonly used computer graphics algorithms.
