1. Introduction: History of computer graphics, applications, graphics pipeline, physical and synthetic images, synthetic camera, modeling, animation, rendering, relation to computer vision and image processing, review of basic mathematical objects (Points, Vectors, Matrix methods). (Chapter - 1) 2. Introduction to OpenGL: OpenGL architecture, primitives and attributes, simple modeling and rendering of two - and three - dimensional geometric objects, indexed and RGB color models, frame buffer, double buffering, GLUT, interaction, events and callbacks, picking. (Chapter - 2) 3.
