The Course is part of the graduate program on Computer Graphics maintained by
IMPA and PUC-Rio. It is a regular course for the master program, and it is also
recommendend for first year graduate students of the program.
- Knowledge of Algorithm & Programming (C, C++, Java, etc.);
- Linear Algebra and Calculus;
- Basic knowledge about graphics and image;
- Signal Processing Basics
- Continuous and Discrete Fourier Transform
- Shannon Sampling Theory
- Color Fundamentals
- Digital Image
- Image Representation and Reconstruction
- Color and Image quantization
- Image Compression Basics
- Operations with images
- Image filtering
- Image Sampling and Reconstruction
These topics are in general covered in short seminars, with the students, in the final part of the course:
- Digital halftoning
- Image Matting
- Image Warping and Morphing
- Image segmentation and tracking
- Image based rendering
The course covers chapters 1 to 7 of the book
- J. Gomes & L. Velho, Image Processing for Computer Graphics, Springer-Verlag, 1997.
The book site contains additional material about the topics covered on the course, as
well as, exercises for each of the chapters.
