Computer Graphics (MTA) Fall 04, Wednesday 11:15-13:45 , room 103

Daniel Cohen-Or

The course covers fundamental algorithms in computer graphics: Raster Graphics, Half Toning, Scan Conversion, Affine Transformations, Projections, Filling and Flooding, Clipping, 3D Representations, Hidden Surface Removal, Shading, Curves and Parametric Surfaces, Ray Tracing, Texture Mapping, Ray Tracing, Radiosity, Solid Modeling and more. There are course notes for most of the classes available in word format and the slides in dpf. If you are following this course and want to discuss its content, please don't hesitate to send me email (dcor@ tau.ac.il) and/or come and talk to me (Office 216).
