Foundations of Computer Graphics

Computer graphics is a specialized branch of computer science focused on the techniques used to digitally generate, manipulate, and represent visual content. It is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from applied mathematics, image processing, computational geometry, computer vision, and information visualization. Interactive computer graphics, a subset of this domain, explores methods for creating images and animations at interactive frame rates, offering significant advantages over passive graphics, such as superior image quality, reduced design costs, and enhanced precision. The core components of an interactive computer graphics system include the frame buffer, monitor, and display controller. The various sub-fields of computer graphics along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. This book outlines the processes and applications of the field in detail. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
