Restrictions	No specific modules are required as prerequisites. Students will be expected to know or to learn independently the basics of the following mathematical concepts and techniques: general algebra (basic transformation of equations); analytical geometry (equations for line, surface, circle, ellipse etc); vector representation and algebra (addition and multiplication, dot product, cross-product); matrix representation and algebra (addition and multiplication).

Exclusions	none
Description	3D constructive graphics (co-ordinate systems, object and scene design, graphics transformations in 3D - translations, scaling, rotation, viewing); Animation; 2D raster graphics (algorithms for efficient drawing of lines and curves); Images and colour (image representations, image arithmetics, image enhancement, colour models).
Learning Outcomes	On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to: design wire-frame representations of 3-dimensional objects define matrices for 3-dimensional transformations explain and design algorithms for the viewing and projection of 3-dimensional objects using transformation matrices apply the relevant concepts of linear algebra and geometry to the design of computer graphics algorithms (e.g. vector and matrix operations and trigonometry) explain and design basic raster conversion algorithms explain the colour models and image representations
