 HISTORY

In 1960, William Fetters a graphic

designer for Boeing Aircraft Co.
proposed his 3D structure of the
human body. This structure was
called "Boeing Man".

William Fetters
1928 - 2002
He did so by drawing the 3-D structure of the
human body, then scanning them to create
images in a 2-D environment such as the
computer screen.

 IMAGES

In common usage, an image

or picture is an artefact,
usually two-dimensional,
that has a similar appearance
to some subject - usually a
physical object or a person.
 TYPES OF
IMAGES

-It is an image file format -It is an image made up of

that's defined by a pixel with paths, all based on
one or more numbers mathematical expressions,
associated with it. consist of basic geometric
shapes, such as lines,
PATHS polygons, and curves.
-lines with a starting and ending points.
 -They are composed of pixels.

-The refreshed process is independent of the complexity of the image.

RASTER -Graphic primitves are specified in terms of end points and must be scan
converted into corresponding pixels.

GRAPHICS -Can draw mathematical curves, polygons and boundaries of curved primitives
only by pixel approximation

-Cost less

-They occupy more space shich depends on image quality.

 -They are composed of paths.

-The displays flicker when the number of primitives in the image become too
large.
VECTOR -Scan version is not required.

GRAPHICS -Draw continues and smooth lines.

-Cost more

-They occupy less space.

 Concepts and Principles
-Images are typically taken by devices such
as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes,
Computer Animation microscopes, etc. Digital images include
-It is the art of creating moving images via the use both vector images and raster images, but
of computers. raster images are most commonly used.

-It is also referred to as CGI (Computer

Generated Imagery or Computer Generated
Imaging), especially when used in films. The following information should help
you get started in the field of
computter graphics.

 Conclusion and Future
Scope
The world of Computer Graphics concentrate
on reinforcement of performance and the
better techniques to bring reality in its
output.
