Computer Graphics (computer Science) - Overview

Overview

Computer graphics studies can manipulation of visual and geometric information using computational techniques. It focuses on the mathematical and computational foundations of image generation and processing rather than purely aesthetic issues. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of visualization, although the two fields have many similarities.

Connected studies include:

  • Scientific visualization
  • Information visualization
  • Computer vision
  • Image processing
  • Computational geometry
  • Computational topology
  • Applied mathematics

Applications of computer graphics include:

  • Special effects
  • Visual effects
  • Video games
  • Digital art
