31: Interactive Geometric Computations Using Graphics Hardware
Monday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Room 103
The increasing performance capabilities of 3D graphics
rasterization have made it an excellent candidate for
solving complicated geometric problems, beyond image synthesis.
This course provides an overview of hardware features,
issues in programming, and applications to various geometric
problems, including visibility, collisions, simplification,
motion planning, etc.
Prerequisites
A first course in computer graphics and some background
in graphics software APIs. Familiarity with some of the
geometric problems: visibility, collision detection, motion
planning, and simplification.
Topics
Graphics rasterization hardware; OpenGL graphics hardware
(features and programming); novel approaches to geometric
problems; algorithms for visibility and occlusion culling,
global visibility, shadow volumes and mapping, 2D map
simplification, depth contours, collision detection, penetration
depth estimation, and path planning; issues in programming
graphics hardware; processing discretized outputs and
applications to interactive computer graphics, robot-motion
planning, physically based modeling, and data visualization.
