Description

This is an introductory course to prepare you for master's projects and advanced courses in computer graphics. Basic math and programming knowledge is needed to follow this course; exercises will include coding problems in Python.

An elementary introduction to kinematics and ordinary differential equations for Physics based modelling (rigid body motion, etc.)
Basics of numeric integration
Clustering algorithms for data compression
Robust statistics (RANSAC, etc)
Optimization techniques
Foundations of Signal processing
Monte Carlo methods with applications to photorealistic rendering
Polynomials and subdivision schemes for curves and surfaces.

Welcome to the lecture

The programming exercises in this course will be in Python. In case you have only little knowledge in this language or programming in general, we advise you to have a look at this extern tutorial. We wish everyone a good start!
