Application Areas of Graphics

Systems
Computer Graphics
• Definition
– Computer Graphics is the use of computer to
define, store, manipulate, interrogate, and present
pictorial output.
– Producing pictures or images using a computer.
• The term Computer Graphics has several
meanings:
– the representation and manipulation of pictorial
data by a computer.
– the various technologies used to create and
manipulate such pictorial data .
– the sub-field of computer science which studies
methods for digitally synthesizing and
manipulating visual content.
Applications
1. Computer Aided Design (CAD)
2. Presentation graphics
3. Computer art
4. Entertainment
5. Education and Training
6. Scientific Visualization
7. Image Processing
8. GUIs
1. Computer Aided Design
• Graphics for Engineering and Architectural
System
• Design of Building, Automobile, Aircraft,
Machine etc.

AutoCAD 2002 Interior Design


cgvr.korea.ac.kr
• AUTOCAD

– Multi Window Environment : shows enlarged sections and


different views
– Wireframe
• show overall shape and internal features of objects
– Electronics
• design circuits and components : standard shapes
supplied with design packages
– Animations
• Real time animations using wireframe displays on a video
monitor are useful for testing performance of a vehicle or
system.
• Realistic lighting and surface rendering
– display the appearance of final products and
also for advertising.
– Rendering is the process of generating an
image from a model, by means of computer
programs.
– The model is a description of three
dimensional objects in a strictly defined
language or data structure.
– contain geometry, viewpoint, texture, lighting,
and shading information.
– image is a digital image or raster graphics
image.
• Realistic architectural designs

– Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which


allows a user to interact with a computer-
simulated environment, be it a real or
imagined one.
2. Presentation Graphics
• To summarize financial, statistical,
mathematical, scientific and economic data
• Examples
– Bar charts (2D, 3D)
– Line graphs
– Surface charts
– Pie charts
3. Computer art
• CG methods are widely used in commercial art
& fine art applications.
– Paint brush program
– Photoshop
4. Entertainment
• Making motion pictures, music videos, and television show.
• Games
– interactive virtual worlds
• Movies
– animation
• totally computer generated imagery
– special effects
• mix of imagery of the physical and the virtual worlds
• Television
– cartoons - simple animation
– advertisements - simple special effects (eg. Morphing)
ENTERTAINMENT
5. Education & Training
• Computer generated models of physical, financial and
economic systems are often used as educational aids.

• Models of physical systems, physiological systems,


equipments can help trainees to understand the
operation of the system.

• Vehicle piloting (Simulators)


– Aircraft, Space craft
– ships, tanks
– trucks, cars
6. Scientific Visualization
• To analyze large amounts of data or to study the
behavior of certain processes
• Produce graphical representation
– scientific, engineering and medical data sets
• Data sets
– scalar, vector also 2D and 3D
• For better visualization
– color coding, graphs, charts, also image processing
with graphics
• Some applications
* numerical visualization of ocean currents
* Thunderstorm simulation
* molecular visualization
7. Image Processing
• Image processing:- Computer manipulation of
images.
• In CG a computer is used to create a picture,
on the other hand it applies techniques to
modify or interpret existing pictures such as
photographs & TV Scans.
8. GUIs
• GUI, A graphic, mouse-oriented paradigm which
allows the user to interact with a computer.
• Computer Graphics methods now provides GUIS for
s/w packages.
• A major component of GUI is window manager, which
allows a user to display multiple-window areas.
• Each window can contain graphical or non graphical
displays.
• A typical GUI contains a window manager that holds
icons, menus etc.
