Q

Wie kann Computergrafik anders definiert werden?

A

Perhaps the best way to define computer graphics is to find out what it is not. It is not a machine. It is not a computer, nor a group of computer programs. It is not the know-how of a graphic designer, programmer, a writer, a motion picture specialist, or a reproduction specialist. Computer graphics is all these - a consciously managed and documented technology directed toward communicating information accurately and descriptively

30
Q

Wie sind Projektionen in Computer Graphics aufgebaut und was ist der Unterschied zu Projektionen in der Fotografie?

A

● In photography, we usually have the centre of projection in-between the object and the image plane
● Image on film or sensor is recorded upside down
● In CG perspective projection, the image plane is in front of the camera
● Image in CG is not flipped
● In general the same mechanisms and rules apply for a perspective projection in graphics as in film
● Virtual camera (centre of projection) has to be placed in world space as well as the objects in the scene

31
Q

Was ist das Frustum und wie ist es aufgebaut?

A

● The Frustum describes a volume, which content is projected for rendering areas outside the frustum are not to be rendered
● With perspective projection the frustum is a truncated pyramid
● Top, bottom, right and left planes restrict the area as well as the near and the far clipping plane
● Alternative naming convention for clipping planes
- Near Clipping Plane (hither)
- Far Clipping Plane (yon)
● With parallel projection we use a cuboid instead of a frustum with on surface matching the shape of the display plan

32
Q

Welche Parameter sind für das Frustum und die perspective Projection relevant?

A
  • Aspect Ratio -> Breite des Sichtfeldes dividiert durch die Höhe (4:3, 16:9)
  • Field of View -> Winkel der angibt, wie “offen” die Kamera ist
33
Q

Wie wirken sich aspect ratio und field of view (FOV) auf das erzeugte Bild auf?

A
34
Q

Was ist das Level of Detail?

A
  • Used to increase rendering performance by reducing the amount of drawn triangles
  • Same 3d object is reproduced with different amount of triangles
  • Choice of displayed object depending on distance between object and the camera
  • Ideally the different displayed levels of detail are not distinguishable for the user
  • Can be pre-processed or calculated dynamically
  • Mesh simplification is complex, computationally intense, and error prone
  • Variety of optimisation algorithms exist
35
Q

Was sind Scene Graphs, warum werden sie verwendet und wie sind sie aufgebaut?

A

● Used to provide a higher abstraction layer for graphics programming compared to low-level APIs (used as well in file formats and game engines)

● Scene graphs are used in 3 key areas to support graphics programming

  • Object representation
  • Interactivity
  • Architecture

● Organised as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)

● Follow the concepts of nested transformations

● Structure

  • Internal nodes are used for hierarchy building
  • Leaf nodes contain geometry
  • Attributes are typically inherited top – down
  • Parent nodes can have more than a single child node

● Hierarchy
- Structure lends itself naturally to intuitive spatial organisation

● Culling

  • Removing everything from a scene that does not contribute to the final image
  • Frustum culling compares object boundaries with viewing frustum
  • Occlusion culling checks whether objects are hidden behind others (not often implemented in scene graphs)

● Bounding volume hierarchy

  • Parent nodes bounding volume contains all volumes of child nodes
  • If parent is culled away, all of its children are culled away

● File I/O

  • Reading and writing of 3D models from disk
  • Internal data structure allows the application to easily manipulate dynamic 3D data
36
Q

Wie geht man durch den Scene Graph? (Traversal of the scene graph)

A

 Visiting of each node of the graph consists normally of 3 phases
 Update or application
Update traversal allows modifications of the scene graph
 Updates are applied either directly by the application or with callback functions assigned to nodes within the scene graph
 Used for animation or input processing
 Cull
 The scene graph tests the bounding volumes of all nodes
 If leaf node is within the view, a reference to the leaf node geometry is added to a final rendering list
 List is sorted by opaque versus translucent, and translucent geometry is further sorted by depth
 Draw or render
 List of geometry created during the cull traversal is traversed and low-level graphics API is called to render that geometry

37
Q

Was ist Culling?

A

While clipping will cut off parts during the rendering process culling is used earlier to remove whole polygons which are not visible

38
Q

Warum benötigt man Culling?

A

Optimisation is often required or desired since calculation of colour and light can be expensive
Only visible parts will contribute to the final image

39
Q

Welche Culling Techniken gibt es?

A

 Frustum culling
 Backface culling (provides typically biggest performance increase)
 Occlusion culling (provides typically lowest performance increase, becomes especially relevant with dense scenes with high amount of polygons)
 Contribution culling (if objects become to small they are simply not rendered anymore)

40
Q

Wie kann nach Frustum Culling getestet werden?

A

● Is active if object is outside the region of the clipping planes
● Simplified frustum culling test
 Assuming our view vector is aligned with the z-axis
 pnear < zview < pfar
 X- and Y-Axis are centric inside the viewing volume
 -wview < xview < wview
 -hview < yview < hview
● Two simple comparisons are required for each axis
● Still not ideal since test has to be performed for each triangle or primitive
●The naive frustum culling needs O(n) tests where n = number of objects, primitives or triangles

41
Q

Wie kann Frustum Culling optimiert werden?

A

● Use of bounding volumes
 Instead of testing each triangle or primitive a bounding volume encapsulating an object based on primitives is used for testing, if the bounding volume is out of the frustum no further tests are needed
 Bounding volumes are typically axis aligned bounding boxes (AABB)

● Bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) as we briefly heard in the scene graph section
 If hierarchical structure of the scene is available the parent objects bounding volumes would encapsulate their children’s bounding volumes
 If parent bounding volumes is out of the frustum no child volumes would have to be tested

42
Q

Was ist Backface Culling?

A

● The most simple approach of removing triangles for rendering is backface culling

● If the polygons on the back side of objects of an object form a closed surface and we perceive them from the outside we have no need for drawing the back faces of the polygons

● The polygons on the back side of objects face backwards

● We use the normal vector of the polygon to check for orientation
 Typically normal vectors are stored in face mesh structure
 If not we can calculate the normal vector as cross product of 2 triangle edges

43
Q

Was ist Occlusion Culling?

A

● Objects that are completely hidden behind other objects in the scene do not have to be drawn

● Has to be considered globally, while backface culling and frustum culling can be considered locally

● Planar Occluders
 Uses projection of objects on viewing plane blocking area for depth tests later on
 Can be implemented by scene geometry or using separate occlusion proxies

● Shadow Volumes
 Creation of a shadow volume between the viewpoint and the far clipping plane
 More on that in texture and buffer part of the lecture

44
Q

A
  • Lichtquellen
  • Struktur und Materialeigenschaften des Objekts
  • Reflexionseigenschaften de Objekts (Illumination, Reflectance Model)
  • Shading Eigenschaften des Models

  • Lichtstrahlen sind parallel
  • Intensität ist abhängig von der Distanz zwischen Objekt und Lichtquelle
  • Reichweite ist normalerweise unendlich
48
Q

  • Intensität wird mit Distanz weniger
  • Reichweite ist limitiert
49
Q

50
Q

Was ist Flat Shading oder Constant Shading?

A
51
Q

Was ist Gouraud Shading?

A
  • Berechnet die individuellen Farben der Vertices
  • Farbe des Dreiecks wird durch Interpolation berechnet
52
Q

Wie funktioniert ein Basic Algorithm vom Gouraud Shading?

A
  • Calculate the vertex normal vectors if not already stored or available (this is achieved by averaging the normal of all adjacent face normals)
  • Calculate the colour intensity of each vertex normal depending on the current local illumination model
  • Calculate the colour intensities of the edges by linear interpolation of the vertex normal
  • Calculate the colour intensities of the inside of the polygon by using linear interpolation of the edges
53
Q

Was ist Phong Shading?

A

Similar idea than Gouraud shading, but instead of interpolation of the colour intensities normal vectors are interpolated

54
Q

Was ist ein Basic Algorithm von Phong Shading?

A
  • Calculate the vertex normal vectors if not already stored or available (this is achieved by averaging the normal vector of all adjacent face normals). Same approach as in Gouraud shading
  • Calculate the normal vectors along the edges based on linear interpolation of the vertex normal and normalise them
  • Calculate the colour intensities along an edge based on a local illumination model
  • Calculate the normal vectors along the scan lines inside a polygon based on linear interpolation based on the edge normal with normalisation
55
Q

Was ist eine Textur?

A

● With shading colourful images of geometries can be created but often more detail is desired

● A texture in general is used to add surface details to a 3d model

● That could be hatching, patterns, whole images but also other attributes like wrinkling of the surface, terrain, reflections of the environment, transparencies

56
Q

Wie funktionieren Texturen?

A

● 2d images are used and mapped onto a 3d geometrical object

● Think of it as shrink wrap or gift wrapping paper

● Parts of the texture could be mapped individually only on parts of the object

57
Q

Wie wird bestimmt welche Dreiecke in der Tiefe (z-Buffer/Depth Buffer) angezeigt werden?

A

- For each polygon in the Frustum

  • Determine the pixels to be drawn

- For each pixel to be drawn

  • Compute the depth value z (distance to the camera) at the x,y position
  • If z(x,y) < current value (x,y) then current value (x,y) := z(x,y)

- Render image

58
Q

Wie ist ein Z-Buffer aufgebaut und welche Probleme können damit entstehen?

A

Die Zahl gibt an wie weit die Pixel weg sind. Problematisch wird es, wenn mehrere Pixel sich überschneiden und gleich weit weg sind. Dann kann es zum Flackern der Oberflächen kommen.

59
Q

Wie kann Flackern bei z Buffer verhindert werden?

A

Man verändert die Objekte soweit, dass sie nicht mehr direkt übereinander liegen.
