CS127 - Computational Geometry

Half course (fall term).
Basic techniques, data structures, combinatorics, and algorithms for solving geometric problems. Examples are convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, point set, and polygon triangulation. Range search, linear programming, and point location. Some theoretical and programming exercises.

Half course (fall term).
The computational aspects of computer graphics. Two major themes are image rendering (viewing transformations, clipping, visible-surface processing, raster algorithms, reflection models, lighting models, surface shading, antialiasing, ray tracing, radiosi ty, and volume rendering) and scene modeling (modeling transformations, curves and surfaces, texture mapping, data-amplification techniques, constructive solid geometry, scalar- and vector-field data, and animation). Ancillary topics include color compres sion, image compression, image compositing, graphical user interfaces, and special machine architectures for computer graphics.

Half course (spring term, every other year).
Advanced seminar in computer graphics focusing on geometric representations and processing. Topics include: direct manipulation, implicit surfaces, spline presentations, recursively subdivided surfaces, model simplification, surface parameterization and processing, mesh generation and motion capture processing.

Half course (spring term, every other year).
Advanced seminar in computer graphics focusing on image rendering and processing. Topics include: light transport, efficient rendering, image based rendering, texture processing, interactive image processing, image compression and image analysis.
