The course covers fundamental algorithms in computer graphics: Raster Graphics, Half Toning, Scan Conversion, Affine Transformations, Projections, Filling and Flooding, Clipping, 3D Representations, Hidden Surface Removal, Shading, Curves and Parametric Surfaces, Ray Tracing, Texture Mapping, Ray Tracing, Radiosity, Solid Modeling and more. All the slides are available in pdf. If you are following this course and want to discuss its content, please don't hesitate to send me email (dcor@ tau.ac.il) and/or come and talk to me (Office 216).
We will also cover some basics about OpenGL.
