CODE 90528 ACADEMIC YEAR 2017/2018 CREDITS 9 cfu anno 1 INFORMATICA 9014 (LM-18) - 6 cfu anno 1 INFORMATICA 9014 (LM-18) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR INF/01 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 2° Semester AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Students will be provided with a sound grounding on theoretical and methodological fundamentals of Computer Graphics as well as Virtual and Augmented reality, which will also include elements of 3D computer vision. In the first part of the course, students will learn the components and the architecture of a graphical system, the visualization pipeline, geometric transformations, projection, clipping, illumination, picking. In the second part, students will get acquainted with sensation and perception notions, in particular with: visual perception; artificial and biological optical systems; real and virtual images; visual coherence. 3D user interfaces. Various case studies will be included in the analysis, eg. conventional monitors, HMD, oculus, hololens, tablets or smartphones. Students will be involved in project activities. TEACHING METHODS Class, lab, project and outside preparation SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introductory concepts: • Biological vision systems • Artificial vision systems: camera models Computer Graphics elements: • rendering paradigms, graphics primitives, pipeline architecture. • GPU architecture. • Geometric meshes . • Affine and projective geometry • Pipeline of geometric transformations • Data-driven programming. • WebGL .
