This course unites computer graphics, computer vision and human perception, explaining their relations at hand of practical and state-of-the-art examples.
The lectures introduce computer graphics from a human-centric point of view. Human perception motivates the design of extended reality devices and efficient computer graphics algorithms. How can we simulate how light propagates in real time? In turn, the computer graphics models are used for computer vision by the analysis by synthesis principle. How can we invert the image, which measures light intensity?
The basic building blocks for visual computing applications that are taught are: rendering techniques for computer graphics (ray-tracing, splatting, rasterization), surface and volumetric representations for objects (surface mesh, volumetric density, Gaussians), and 3D geometry (perspective projection, optimization). Practical experiences are gained in the assignments and tutorials.
basic programming skills (in python), basic mathematics (in particular linear algebra)

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
