Course Outcomes

Mathematics and Geometry

Use and implement the fundamental mathematical concepts underlying these areas, including

  • Points, vectors, and matrices
  • Other basic principles of linear algebra
  • Geometric transformations as matrices
  • Methods for working with numeric data

Graphical User Interfaces

Use and implement concepts of current graphical user interfaces (which you should have seen before), including

  • Model-view-controller architecture
  • Event handling
  • Screen management

2D Drawing, Viewing, and Selection

Use and implement the following concepts for 2D drawing, viewing, and selection:

  • Geometry of simple shapes
  • 2D Transformations

  • Implement the geometric transformations used in 3D rendering
  • Identify basic techniques for shading and their advantages and limitations

Basic Image Processing

Understand and implement fundamental image processing operations, including

  • Point operations (brightness, contrast, etc.)
  • Image-Image operations (differencing, alpha blending, etc.)
  • Neighborhood operations (noise removal, edge detection, etc.)

Geometric Operations on Images

Understand and implement image warping using a backwards-mapping approach

Color

Understandand use the language and principles of common color models
