TYPES OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS
Computer graphics is the creation and manipulation of
pictures with the aid of computer.
There are two types of computer graphics.
1.
Interactive computer OR Active graphics
2.
Non-interactive graphics OR passive computer graphics
14
TYPES OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS
1.
Interactive computer graphics:
control over the image by providing him with an input device so that he can signal his request to computer. Example: Video games. computer graphics involves communication between computer and user. two way
The computer graphics in which the observer has some
Interactive
The user gives signals to computer through the input device and
computer can modify the displayed picture accordingly. computer.
In this way we maintain conversation or dialogue with the

2.
Non-interactive computer graphics:
The computer graphics in which the observer has no
control over the image.
Example: Titles shown on TV.
16
Applications of Graphics:
Computers have become powerful tool for the rapid and
economical production of pictures.
Science Engineering Medicine Business Industry Government Art Entertainment Advertising Education and training
Computer graphics are used in several areas such as
17
Computer Aided Design (CAD):
A major use of computer graphics is in design process
particularly for engineering and architectural systems.
Computer aided design referred as CAD methods are
now routinely used in the design of buildings, automobiles, aircraft, space craft and textiles etc.,
Useful for testing performance of a vehicle. System in virtual reality environments. Realistic renderings of design process. Realistic 3D renderings of building designs.
18
Presentation Graphics:
Presentation graphics used to produce illustration for
reports or generate 35mm slides etc.,
These graphics are commonly used to summarize and
economic data for research reports, managerial reports, consumer information bulletins etc.,
Example:
bar charts,
line graphs and pie charts.
19
Computer Art:
Computer graphics methods are widely used in both fine
art and commercial art applications.
Artists uses variety of computer methods including
special purpose hardware, paint brush programs,etc.,
20
Entertainment:
Computer graphics methods are now commonly used in
making motion pictures, music videos and television shows.
Sometimes graphics are displayed by themselves
i.e., computer animation and sometimes graphics objects
are combined with the actors and live scenes.
21
Education and Training:
Computer generated models of physical, financial and
economic systems are often used as educational aids.
For some training applications special system are
designed.
22
Visualization:
Producing
graphical representations for scientific, engineering and medical data sets and processes is generally referred to as scientific visualization.
For commerce, industry and other non-scientific areas
data sets and processes is generally referred to as business visualization.
23
Image processing:
Image
processing apply techniques to modify or interpret existing pictures such as photographs and TV scans.
Two principal applications of image processing are
1. Improving picture quality
2. Machine perception of visual information as used in
robotics.
