Point - Based Computer Graphics SIGGRAPH 2004 Course Notes

This course introduces points as a powerful and versatile graphics primitive. Speakers present their latest concepts for the acquisition, representation, modeling, processing, and rendering of point sampled geometry along with applications and research directions. We describe algorithms and discuss current problems and limitations, covering important aspects of point based graphics.

Practical Anatomy as an Advance Organizer for Anatomy Lectures: Effectiveness in Learning Facilitation for Dental Students

Introduction: Several approaches are introduced to facilitate anatomy learning. One of them is to present practical course before the theoretical one. This study compared the effect of presentation of practical class before lecture on enhancement of learning among dental students of Babol University of Medical Sciences. Methods: Thirty eight students of first semester in school of dentistry of...

Visualizing Quaternions Course Notes for SIGGRAPH ’99 Course Organizer

This tutorial focuses on establishing an intuitive visual understanding of the relationship between ordinary 3D rotations and their quaternion representations. We begin building this intuition by showing how quaternion-like properties appear and can be exploited even in 2D space. Quaternions are then introduced in several alternative representations that do not necessarily require abstract math...

Teaching Algorithms and Data Structures through Graphics

This paper presents experiences from a first-time implementation of a data structures and algorithms course based on a specific computer graphics problem, namely surface reconstruction from unorganized points, as the teaching medium. The course required sophomore students to implement the algorithm found in Hoppe et al.’s SIGGRAPH ’92 paper of the same title. This problem was chosen since the s...
