1. Vector Operations in Computer Graphics
In 3D computer graphics, vectors are often used to represent directions, forces, or
the position of objects in a scene.
1. Consider two vectors representing two directions in a 3D game:
⃗ = ⟨2, −3,4⟩ and ⃗ = ⟨−1,5,2⟩.
(a) Calculate the angle between the two vectors.
(b) Determine if these vectors are orthogonal, parallel, or neither, based on the
results of the dot product and the cross product.
2. In many physics engines used in gaming, objects are manipulated based on
force vectors. Suppose a force vector ⃗ = ⟨3, −2,5⟩ is applied to an object at
the point (2,1, −1). Find the torque (or moment) exerted by the force about
the origin using the cross product.

2. Computer Vision – Line of Sight


In computer vision, cameras and other sensors often need to determine if objects
lie on a specific line of sight or path. This is particularly useful in object tracking
and robotic vision.
A camera at the origin (0,0,0) is tracking an object along a line described by the
parametric equations:
=1+ , = −2 + 3 , =4
Determine whether the object passes through the point (4, 1, 12).
If yes, at what value of ?
3 Computer Vision – Plane Detection in 3D Space
In 3D computer vision, detecting planes is often necessary for reconstructing
surfaces or finding boundaries of objects. For example, in augmented reality (AR),
it's important to detect surfaces like tables, floors, or walls to correctly place virtual
objects.
Problem Statement: Suppose you are developing an AR application that
needs to identify a flat surface (like a table) in a 3D space. Your camera
has detected three points (1, 2, 3), (4, −1, 2), (−1, 1, 0) on this surface:

(a) Find the equation of the plane passing through these three
points.

(b) Explain how the normal vector of this plane could help in
aligning virtual objects (e.g., placing a virtual cup on the detected
surface) so they appear realistically aligned with the surface.
