2nd Cycle Studies - Mestrado
Recommended Prerequisites
Computer Programming; Data Strutures and Algorithms; Linear Algebra; Computer Vision.
Teaching Methods
Theoretical classes with detailed presentation, using audiovisual means, of the concepts, principles and fundamental theories and solving of basic practical exercises to illustrate the practical interest of the subject and exemplify its application to real cases.
Laboratory classes where execution of specific developments and consequent results analysis.
Learning Outcomes
This course has the objective of introducting the students to the basic principles of computer graphics, that enables them to develop applications and understand the concepts used in tridimensional modeling tools.
By extending concepts that have connections with other courses, namely in terms of the use of sensors or computer vision techniques. This competencies aim, not only at the development of computer graphics software, but also on contents and supporting technologies.
