CoGIP: a Course on 2D Computer Graphics and Image Processing Eric Paquette In SIGGRAPH 2004 Educators Program

Abstract

Computer Graphics is an important discipline and is present in almost every undergraduate Computer Science curriculum. Image Processing is also essential to create graphical content. 2D Computer Graphics and Image Processing have strong theoretical relationships, but in typical Computer Graphics courses, they are only briefly presented. This paper proposes a course on these two disciplines. Such a course is of practical interest for content creation, for the acquisition of images, and for the reproduction of content on different media. Apart from describing the course, this paper identifies theoretical and practiral relationships between Computer Graphics and Image Processing. It identifies benefits and drawbacks of adding such a course in an undergraduate curriculum and relates this course to topics that could be part of advanced courses. It finally covers practical concerns such as a software framework for assignments and how to cover the main aspects in specific assignment topics.
