Computer Graphics and Image Processing

Lecturer: Professor P. Robinson

No. of lectures: 16

Prerequisite courses: Algorithms, Mathematical Methods for Computer Science (for one lecture of Image Processing part of the course)

This course is a prerequisite for Advanced Graphics (Part II).

Aims

To introduce the necessary background, the basic algorithms, and the applications of computer graphics and image processing. A large proportion of the course considers the design and optimisation of algorithms, so can be considered a practical application of the lessons learnt in the Algorithms course.

Lectures

Objectives

At the end of the course students should be able to
