Advanced Computer Graphics
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg
Additional information: Students must have prior coursework similar to the content offered in undergraduate course MATH240 and CMSC420.
An introduction to advanced concepts in computer graphics. Includes an introduction to realistic rendering based on physical properties of light transport, radiometric concepts, and the rendering equation; Monte Carlo integration techniques to solve the rendering equation such as path tracing and multiple importance sampling; and neural network techniques for efficient sampling and denoising. Further discusses recent advances in 3D modeling and reconstruction, such as neural network-based 3D reconstruction; inverse rendering using neural radiance fields and differentiable rendering; and generative modeling for images, videos, and 3D data.
Must be in the Graduate Program in Computer Science. All other graduate students must request permission.
