CS372 Computer Graphics (3-0-0-6)Computer Graphics comprises of a pipeline of technologies that play an important role in developing computer vision
and image processing technologies with wide applications in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This course will teach
you the fundamentals of imaging graphics through which you will be able to develop various imaging applications. This course
also accompanies coding, using Python or C++ or Java and OpenGL, of every algorithm/technology (highlighted in bold)
that will be taught giving a first hand experience of imaging app development and how it works.
