计算机图形学是最令人振奋且发展最快的计算机领域之一，现已成为人机交互界面、数据可视化、虚拟现实、工业制造、辅助诊断和手术导航、广告和特效、动画和游戏等许许多多应用中交叉的公共组成部分。随着软件算法和硬件设备的飞速发展，计算机图形学正展现着一个广阔的发展前景：更逼真地模拟、更真实感地显示、以及更高效率地压缩和传输高度复杂照明环境下现实世界中的各种物体和各类现象；更赋人性地人机交互；更生动地虚拟人类的头发、皮肤、衣服、情感、行为和动作等。本课程基本授课内容包括：计算机图形学综述、图形显示系统、过程式建模、基本图元生成、裁剪算法、可见面判别、样条曲线与曲面、观察流水线及坐标变换、颜色模型、光照模型和面绘制算法、纹理与阴影生成、基本动画生成等。

Computer Graphics (CG) remains one of the most exciting and rapidly growing computer fields and has now become a common element in human-computer interfaces, data visualization, virtual reality, aided designing and manufacturing, aided diagnoses and surgery navigation, advertisement and special effects, animations and games, and many, many other applications. With the rapid development of the software algorithms and hardware devices, it is exhibiting a wide, deep and exciting prospect: better simulate, more realistically render, and more effectively compress and transmit a variety of physical objects and natural phenomena under the complex lighting environment; more intelligent and agile interfaces; and more vivid digitize the human’s hair, skins, clothes, expressions, behaviors, and actions. In the course, lectures include: Introduction of Computer Graphics, Graphics Display Systems, Procedural Modeling, Output Primitive, Clipping Algorithms, Visible Surface Detection, Spline Curves and Surfaces, View Pipeline and Coordinate Transformation, Color Models, Illumination Models and Shading, Texture and Shades, and Computer Animation, etc.
