What is Computer Graphics?
-
Definition: Modeling and generation (rendering) of images (animated)
- Modeling (model space, world space). Mathematical model consisting in points, surfaces, lines...
- Rendering: Rendering methods like raytracing, radiosity,rasterverfahren, 3D printing ...
- "Images" (image space, screen space): Pixel images, vector graphics, printing on paper, 3D manufactured like injection molding or CNC machining
-
Placement and distinction: As a part of informatics (science of automated data processing with digital computer technology), includes the processing of graphic data.
- The term "computer graphics" is a subset of a larger concept of graphic data processing.
- Computer graphics represents objects in image space by converting from model space.
- Computer Vision represents images in model space.
- Contains several examples of common intersections, such as sonogram (ultra sound).
-
Applications: Computer games, film industry (special effects, cartoons), industrial design (CAD/CAM), visualization of data (medicine, data mining), simulations(animated representations of processes, flight simulators).
