Learning outcomes
This course aims at providing the student with the tools needed
to master algorithms and computational methods upon which
many interactive computer graphics applications are based. The
focus is on understanding the theory (geometry, radiometry) and
the computational issues (algorithms, programming) that lie behind computer-generated images.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
-Understand the functionality of the graphics pipeline of computers
-Understand the basics of 3D modeling and rendering algorithms
-Design and implement simple graphics and visualization applications
Program
1. Introduction to Computer Graphics (2h)
- CG paradigms
- Outline of a CG application
- Course outlook
2. Mathematical background (5h)
- Vector and affine spaces
- Matrices and transforms
- Analytical geometry
- Polygons
- Geometric data structures
3. Geometric Modeling (4h)
- Polygonal meshes
- Parametric surfaces (hints)
- Constructive Solid Geometry (hints)
- Spatial subdivision (hints)
4. Illumination and rendering (3h)
- Introduction: ray casting
- Phisical model: radiometry, BRDF, rendering equation
5. Illumination models (4h)
- Phong model
- Cook-Torrance model (hints)
- Light sources
- Ray tracing: Whitted's model, intersections, culling techniques
- Radiosity
6. Rasterization (6h)
- Geometric transformations
- Clipping
- Hidden surfaces removal: list-priority, depth-buffer

- Transparency
9. Scientific visualization
- Algorithms: isosurfaces, slicing, colormap. Perceptive issues
10. Laboratory (24 h):
- 3D modelling basics
- Introduction to OpenGL programming: a simple C++ tutorial
Examination Methods
Written test (20/30) and evaluation of graphics programming skills (10/30)
To pass the exam students must demonstrate that:
- they have understood the basic algorithms related to modelling, lighting and rasterization pipeline
- they are able to describe these concepts in a clear and exhaustive way
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to solve application scenarios described by means of exercises, questions and projects.
Written test:
The written test is composed by a few open questions and/or exercises testing the understanding of the different topics of the course.
To pass the exam, the students must show
- they have understood the principles related to 3D modelling and renderings
Lab
The exam consists in the evaluation and oral discussion of coding exercises uploaded in itinere on the e-learning platform, implementing specific modifications of base codes developed during the lab sessions.
For students who cannot attend the lab sessions there is the opportunity to define a different project to be implemented and discussed in an oral presentation.
Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D o F comprendono gli insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona o periodi di stage/tirocinio professionale.
Nella scelta delle attività di tipo D, gli studenti dovranno tener presente che in sede di approvazione si terrà conto della coerenza delle loro scelte con il progetto formativo del loro piano di studio e dell'adeguatezza delle motivazioni eventualmente fornite. Dal 1° dicembre 2021 al 27 febbraio 2022 e dal 2 maggio 2022 al 15 luglio 2022, tramite il presente modulo gli studenti possono richiedere l'inserimento di attività didattiche in TAF D ed F che non possono inserire autonomamente nel proprio piano di studi tramite la procedura on-line.
COMPETENZE LINGUISTICHE - dal 1° ottobre 2021 (Delibera del Consiglio della Scuola di Scienze e Ingegneria del 30 marzo 2021) per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti automaticamente 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti automaticamente 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
