الهدف

  This course provides an introduction to the principles of computer graphics. It will address a broad range of topics. These include two dimensional computer graphics, raster operations, and imaging methods In particular, the course will consider methods for modeling 2-D and 3-D objects and efficiently generating photorealistic renderings on color raster graphics devices. The emphasis of the course will be placed on understanding how the various elements that underlie computer graphics (algebra, geometry, algorithms, optics, and photometry) interact in the design of graphics software systems.
