Aims

The principle aim of this lecture course is to become familiar with the basic concepts and algorithms used in the field of visualization. The students will be able to visualize abstract and spatial data in a way that enhances our perception of the desired relationships in the underlying data. In addition, the students will also gain experiences in implementing a wide range of visualization techniques in existing frameworks or even in designing and implementing them from the ground up.

Objectives

Students will obtain a good understanding of the graphics pipeline and its programmable stages. They will be able to distribute the tasks of a computer graphics algorithm among the different stages of the graphics pipeline efficiently. Moreover, they will be able to implement some of the most commonly used algorithms in real-time computer graphics. Furthermore, students will have a general idea of the GPU architectures and how to implement efficiently parallel algorithms in the GPU using Compute shaders and CUDA.
