The course can not be included in degree together with TSBK07.
Course offered for
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
Prerequisites
Linear algebra. Programming knowledge.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- Goal 1: describe the calculation models used in computer graphics for how a synthetic scene is built.
- Goal 2: construct synthetic three-dimensional scenes and generate images and animations of these.
- Goal 3: based on this knowledge, design and implement interactive 3D graphics like simpler virtual worlds, 3D games etc.
- Goal 4: implement shader programs (programming of graphics processors).
Course content
The course describes the principles and methods for computer generation of synthetic images, animations and interactive graphics applications.
Real-time animation with OpenGL (3.2 or higher) including shader programming with GLSL.
Three-dimensional graphics: geometric transformations, projection, perspective.
Object representation. Light models and shading, Gouraud and Phong shading. Texture mapping. Visible surface detection. Frustum culling, billboards. Animation, basic collision detection.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, lab exercises and a project. The lecture series can be followed on Campus Valla but is also recorded.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
Examination
| TEN1 | Written examination | 2 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
| LAB1 | Laboratory work | 2 credits | U, G |
| PRA1 | Project, oral and written examination | 2 credits | U, G |
The laboratory course comprises assignments that should be solved and presented in the lab.

About teaching and examination language
The teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows:
- If teaching language is “Swedish”, the course as a whole could be given in Swedish, or partly in English. Examination language is Swedish, but parts of the examination can be in English.
- If teaching language is “English”, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English.
- If teaching language is “Swedish/English”, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English depending on teaching language.
Other
The course is conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.
The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point.
The course is campus-based at the location specified for the course, unless otherwise stated under “Teaching and working methods”. Please note, in a campus-based course occasional remote sessions could be included.
