Description

In this course an introduction to data structures and efficient algorithms for graphical applications ranging from rendering and visualization to games, VR-and AR-Technology is provided. The content of this lecture includes spatial division and efficient searching, geometric algorithms, computational geometry, randomized algorithms, efficient rendering, volume rendering. This course uses the reverse teaching principle: individual reading and watching of videos, during time in class interactive discussion and experiments.
