Subject and aim
|
A number of advanced algorithms will be discussed in detail and in 6 practical sessions implemented by the students. The algorithms originate from the following fields:
- Parallel Programming (CUDA)
- Computational Geometry
- Animation
- Fluid Simulation
- Image-based Rendering (SSAO,Displacement Mapping,...)
- Real-time Ray-tracer
- Real-time (Soft) Shadows
- Temporal Coherence

Blocked, in the Seminarraum
186, Favoritenstr. 9-11, 5. floor, staircase 1. The detailed schedule can be found here.

Todo
| |
There is a lecture and an exercise part to this LVA.
To get a passing grade 6 programming exercises are to be completed by the students. The topics of the exercises are:
The almost complete solution should be downloaded and completed by each student (look at todos in code and readme).
Upload the completed exercise here. Workload is below 2h per example. Deadlines can be found here.

Grading
| |
The grades are based on the assignments. Each assignment is worth the same amount of points. If the student finishes the homework including the basic features given in the readme file he is awarded 85% of the points. By implementing additional features the student can earn up to 120% of the points for each example. For a grade of "Sehr Gut"(best grade) the student needs 90% of the points averaged over all the examples.
