- 1. Computer Graphics Areas of Application
- 2. Introduction Computer graphics involves display, manipulation data for proper visualization using computer. Generate 2D images of a 3D world represented in a computer. Main tasks: ◦ Modeling: creating and representing the geometry of objects in the 3D world ◦ Rendering: generating 2D images of the objects ◦ Animation: describing how objects change in
- 3. Application Areas Computer Aided Design(CAD) Presentation Graphics Computer Art Education and training Visualization Image processing Entertainment ◦ Movies Industry ◦ Gaming Industry Medical field Graphical User Interface(GUI)
- 4. CAD Major use of computer graphics is in design process, particularly for engineering and architectural systems. This include design of buildings, automobiles, aircraft etc.
- 5. Presentation Graphics Used to summarize the financial, mathematical, scientific and economic data. Typical examples are bar charts, line graphs, pie charts etc.
- 6. Computer Art Artist uses special purpose hardware and programs that provides facilities for designing object shapes and specifying object motion. Examples pixel paint, super paint etc.
- 7. Education and training Computer generated models of physical, financial and economic system are often used as educational aids. Various kinds of simulators program can be used to provide the trainings. E.g. automobile driving simulator.
- 8. Visualization Various techniques can be used to represent the large amount of data obtained from scientific , medical or business analysis. These includes color coding, contour plots, graphs , charts etc.
- 9. Image Processing Computer graphics is used to create pictures. Image processing applies techniques to modify or interpret the existing pictures. It is used to: ◦ Improve picture quality ◦ Machine perception of visual information
- 10. Entertainment Computer graphics methods are now commonly used in making motion pictures, music videos , games and televisions shows. Sometime graphics pictures are displayed by themselves and sometime combined with the actors and live scenes.
- 11. Medical Field Computer graphics can also be used to represent the various internal parts and process of the human body.
- 12. GUI It is the interface of the software that communicates with the user with help of some input devices. It contains number of windows , menus and icons for fast selection of processing options.
