| Aim: This course will explore topics in computer graphics image synthesis in considerable depth. The focus of the course will be on global illumination, the simulation of indirect illumination in 3-dimensional scenes consisting of dull (diffuse) surfaces, and shiny (specular) surfaces, and foggy transparent volumes. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TNCG01 Introduction to Computer Graphics Programming or TNM068 Computer graphics or TNM077 3D Computer Graphics and Animation Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Background lectures, followed by student research paper presentations, followed by project work. |
|||
| Course contents: The course will include the following topic areas: optics and light, ray tracing and radiosity algorithms, Monte Carlo sampling and integration,general strategy for solving the rendering equation, stochastic path tracing, introduction to finite element methods, matrix and progressive radiosity, mesh generation for radiosity, complex scenes, clustering, photon mapping and caustics, perception and display, trends and future research |
|||
| Course literature: "Photon Mapping" by Jensen,"Advanced Global Illumination" by Dutre, "Physically Based Rendering: From Theory to Implementation" by Pharr and Humphreys. |
|||
| Examination: | |||
| Project work with oral and written presentation. |
5 p |
||
| Evaluation of the course will be in the form of an assessment of the student proposals, intermediate reports, and oral presentations which will be graded in the middle of the period, and the final report will be graded at the end of the period. A large software project will also form a part of the course. | |||
