Prerequisites

The participants are expected to have good knowledge of the material presented on the course "T-111.300 Tietokonegrafiikka". Reading chapters 1-5 of the book "Real-time Rendering" by Möller and Haines (can be found in the university libraries) is a good way of brushing up your skills.

Lectures

The lectures are held in lecture hall T2 on June 14-16 at 10am-2pm. Attendance is mandatory, and will be controlled.

Contents

This intensive course focuses on the theory of lighting in computer graphics, and on real-time applications of the theory.

Passing the Course

To pass the course, the student must attend the mandatory lectures held June 14-16. The lectures will be given by Dr. Jan Kautz of the MIT group of graphics research.

The students must make thorough notes on the lectures, and later in the summer deliver a 10-12 page paper that discusses all the topics treated on the lectures, with additional information drawn from the literature. In addition, comparisons and discussion of the different methods is required.

Papers of graduate students must be 15-16 pages in length.

Credits

The seminar, consisting of the lectures and a 10-12 page paper, is worth 2cr. Extra credit is available for an implementation. Each student willing to make an own implementation and get credit for that must discuss it with with the course personnel.

Schedule

The Lecturer

Jan Kautz is currently on a two-year postdoctoral research visit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He recently received his PhD from Max Planck -Institut für Informatik in Saarbrücken, Germany, where he worked in the graphics group. Kautz has worked succesfully in, e.g., real-time rendering of reflections. He is currently co-operating with the 3Dr research group of the TML laboratory.

Staff

The course is arranged by prof. Lauri Savioja. In addition Jaakko Lehtinen, Teemu Mäki-Patola and Jussi Räsänen will review the papers.
