This course is a beginner-level introduction to computer graphics and computer vision. It is aimed at undergraduates who have an interest in imaging or the visual arts. It will offer a unified treatment of image synthesis and image analysis techniques and will cover three major topics:
- Principles of Visual Computing: Computational and mathematical methods for creating, capturing, analyzing and manipulating digital photographs.
- Digital Special Effects: Case studies that examine how visual computing principles were used to create visual effects in movies and commercials.
- Visual Programming: Programming assingments intended to give hands-on experience with creating graphical user interfaces, and with implementing programs for synthesizing and manipulating photographs.
Prerequisites: CSC209H1/270H1/(CSC207H1,proficiency in C or C++); MAT137Y1, MAT223H1/MAT240H1; CGPA 3.0/enrolment in a CSC subject POSt. No background in vision, graphics, or image processing will be assumed. S tudents interested in graphics are encouraged to take Visual Computing before taking CSC418. There is very little overlap between CSC320 and CSC418.
