Glossary
• CG – Computer Graphics
• Rasterization: The process of determining values
for the pixels in a rendered image. Translating an
image into pixels. Also called scan conversion.
• Texture refers to the surface quality (color).
• Texture mapping is a method of adding realism to a
computer-generated graphic.
– When a picture is mapped onto an object, the
correspondence between the picture's pixels and points on
the object's surface is calculated.
• Specular: reflective, especially light from materials
with glossy surfaces

Glossary
• Bump mapping: The process of creating and
displaying a texture where the values of the texture
are used to simulate the bumpiness of an object's
surface.
– Bump mapping is used to add detail to an image without
increasing the number of polygons.
– Bump maps do not move the geometry of an object, but
they do affect the shading of a surface, giving the illusion
of a pattern being embossed on the surface
– Bumps are applied by matching up a series of grayscale
pixels with colored pixels on the rendered, colored object.
Lighter grayscale pixels create a sense of maximum relief or
maximum

What is Computer Graphics CG?
• is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes
computers both to generate visual images
synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and
spatial information sampled from the real world
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics
– Generation of (possibly realistic) images of virtual scenes
using computer hardware.
• In this context it refers to the algorithms, conceptual
constructions and mathematical background needed to render
virtual scenes either 2D or 3D
• Really a sub-field of the more general “Virtual
Reality” (VR) field,
– though VR is usually considered a sub-field of graphics!
• Distinct from “Image Processing” and CG in which
images are scanned into the computer.

Computer Graphics = Drawing
Pictures with a Computer
• Rendering is the process of producing the pixels of an
image from a higher-level description (object
coordinates) of its components.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering
• 2D Rendering
– Issues: 2D geometry (curves, 2D objects, ..), drawing algorithms
• 3D Rendering
– Generating realistic images of non-existent 3D objects/scenes
– Issues:
•

•
geometry (surfaces, 3D objects, …);
lighting;
view transformations;
rendering algorithms;…

Current trend
• To produce a realistic view of a natural scene,
a graphics program must simulate the effects of
– actual reflections and refractions (bending of a ray)
from physical objects
• So the current trend is to incorporate physics
principles into graphics algorithms
– to better simulate the complex interactions
between objects and a lighting environment

1-3 Virtual-Reality Environment
p.10
• Computer Graphics are a popular means for
evaluating the design of large public complexes,
therefore virtual reality is quite a new approach in
this area that allows the user to freely navigate and
interact http://www.liophant.org/itim/websim1999/w134.html
• By connecting these environments with simulation
models, it becomes possible to perform a
quantitative analysis of system efficiency.
– By evaluating the facilities of a public cultural center or
the viability of a town,
• it is easy to measure the crossing and waiting times and to
obtain references for comparing different potential solutions and
for optimizing the design

• Computer-generated animations are used in
producing TV commercials.
• How can we do it?
– ad spots are generated frame by frame
• each frame is rendered (made) and saved as a separate image file
– in each successive frame, object positions are displayed
slightly to simulate the motions involved in the animation
– when all frames in the animation sequence have been
rendered, the frames is transferred to film (or stored in a
video for playback.
• Film animations require 24 frames for each sec in the
animation sequence (or 30 frames to play back on a
video monitor)

Properties of Light
• We perceive
electromagnetic
energy having
wavelengths in the
range 400-700 nm as
visible light.
– The perceived color is
as much psychological
as it is physical.

The Eye
The retina is largely composed of rods and cones. We
concentrate on the cones as they determine color perception.

Color Space

CIE Color Spaces
Norm Color System
•In 1931 the CIE ( Commission
Internationale de l'Eclairage)
developed the XYZ color system,
also called the "norm color system."
•This system is often represented as a
2D graphic which more or less
corresponds to the shape of a sail.
www.linocolor.com
•The red components of a color are tallied along
the x (horizontal) axis of the coordinate plane and
•the green components along the y (vertical) axis.
•In this way every color can be assigned a
particular point on the coordinate plane.
•Colors on the left tend toward gray, which
means that their spectral purity is decreased.

Gouraud shading, no specular highlights
•In 3D graphics, a technique developed by Henri Gouraud in the early 1970s that computes
a shaded surface based on the color and illumination at the corners of every triangle.
•Gouraud shading is the simplest rendering method and is computed faster than Phong shading.
•It does not produce shadows or reflections.
•The surface normals at the triangle's points are used to create RGB values,
which are averaged across the triangle's surface
Expanded by Jozef Goetz
Specular highlights added
Specular: reflective, especially light from materials with glossy surfaces
Expanded by Jozef Goetz
Phong shading
Phong shading is a sophisticated smooth shading method, originated by Phong Bui-tuong.
•Phong shading requires much more computation for the hardware than Gouraud shading.
•Without it, objects may look faceted, ie each individual surface is clearly visible.
