DEPARTMENT: Software Engineering
Group 7 Questions
1.Rasterization
Converting vector primitives (lines, triangles) into a grid of
pixels. It is the core steps that paints 2D fragments to the screen
in the rendering pipeline
2.Importance of Geometric Transformations
They let us translate, rotate, scale and scew objects, enabling
object placement, animation, and changing viewpoints in a scene.
3.Color Depth
The number of bits used per pixel (e.g. 8-bit vs. 24-bit) Higher
depth yeilds more distinct colours and smoother gradients,
reducing banding.
4.Five industries & Applications
- Film & Animation: CGI and effect
- Video Games: Real-time 3D worlds
- Architecture: Virtual Walkthroughs
- Medicine: 3D imaging and simulation
- Automotive: Design Visualization and VR
prototyping
5.Pixel and Resolution
Pixels are discrete picture elements; higher
resolution (more pixel) produces final details and
sharper images.
6.Rotation in Transformation
Rotating an object by an angle θ around an axis
using a rotation matrix (e.g. Spinning a 2D
sprite).
7.Hidden Surface elimination
Techniques (like Z-buffering) ensure only visible
surfaces are drawn, improving realism and
performance by skipping occluded fragments.
8.LCD vs. LED Displays
- LCD: Uses fluorescent backlight + liquid crystals
- LED: Uses light-emitting diodes for backlighting
LEDs are more energy-efficient, thinner and offer
better contrast.
9.Mathematical Algorithms for 3D Models
Linear algebra and optimisation drive mesh
generation, subdivision, deformation and
physics, enabling precise and realistic shapes.
10. Shading for realism
Circulates light-surface interactions (e.g. Phong,
Gouraud) to simulate highlights, shadows, and
surface detail.
11. Simulation Benefits in Education
Provide interactive, risk-free environments (e.g.
flight sims, virtual labs) that deepen
understanding and engagement.
12. Role of OpenGL
A cross-platform API for issuing drawing
commands, managing shaders and GPU
resources and standardizing 2D/3D rendering .
13. Anti-Aliasing
Smooths jagged edges by sampling or filtering
(e.g. MSAA, FXAA), improving visual quality
along diagonals and curves.
14. Perspective Projection
Projects 3D points onto a 2D plane with depth
foreshortening, creating the illusion of distance
and realistic spatial relationship.
15. Scaling In 2D and 3D
Multiple coordinates by scale factors (sx, sy, sz)
via a diagonal matrix to enlarge or shrink objects
uniformly or non-uniformly.
16. Advantages of 3D over 2D Graphics
True depth, dynamic camera movement, more
immersive interaction, and easier reuse of model
for different views.
17. Essential input devices
Devices (mouse, touchscreen, VR controllers)
capture user intent-crucial for navigation,
selection, manipulation in graphics application.
18. Purpose of Shading;
To simulate how light interacts with
surfaces-defining color, brightness and texture
cues that make object appear three-dimensional
