Illustrative Computer Graphics

Description

Important: Relevant Links will be visible below only after logging in!

Qualified students:
Information Engineering students, bachelor in-depth lectures or master program

Requirements:
Experience similar to modules Mathematical Foundations for Computer Science, Informatics I and Computer Graphics and interactive Systems (or similar), elementary programming skills. Register with ZEuS.

Topic:
The Illustrative Computer Graphics focus on approaches to automatically abstract images and geometry data and on the simulation of artistic processes like painting with oil and water colors.

  • 2D-Methods for the production of non-photorealistic Computer Graphics (Dithering, Halftoning, artistic screening, Stipping)
  • Manipulation of 2.5-dimensional Data (Images with depth), edge enhancement, depth differences, Unsharp Masking
  • Non-photorealistic rendering of 3D Geometry data (Computation of geometric Features, Minima and Maxima of derivations and curvatures, finding silhouettes, numerical problemes)
