Computer Graphics
Computer graphics is a field of computer science that deals with the creation, manipulation, and rendering of images and videos using computer algorithms. It involves various aspects of computer science, including computer vision, image processing, computer-aided design, and programming.
Computer graphics can be divided into two broad categories: 2D graphics and 3D graphics. 2D graphics involve creating and manipulating images that are represented as a set of pixels on a 2D plane, while 3D graphics involve creating and manipulating objects that are represented as a set of points, lines, and surfaces in a 3D space.
Computer graphics has many practical applications, including video game development, animation, virtual reality, and computer-aided design. It also has applications in scientific visualization, medical imaging, and architectural visualization, among others.
Some of the key technologies used in computer graphics include rasterization, ray tracing, texture mapping, and shading. These techniques are used to create realistic and visually appealing images and videos.
