Displays - Vorlesung (Master) (INF4177)

Display algorithms and technology are currently one of the most innovative areas in computer graphics. In recent years we have seen drastic improvements in spatial as well as temporal resolution, contrast, color consistency and alike. In order to judge image and video reproduction quality we will visit a number of measures based on psycho-physical insights. Stereo vision has been around for years and now entered every other TV set requiring novel algorithms for preparing and controlling the visual content. Stacking multiple light modulators one can even build an auto-stereoscopic display requiring enhanced computational methods for driving these displays.

The course will cover

• 2D display technology
• projectors
• perception
• stereo and head-mounted displays
• auto-stereoscopic displays
• vision correcting displays
• physical displays
• holography

You will find script and exercises in ILIAS.

• SWS: 2 V + 2 Ü
• ETCS: 4 LP
• Course ID: INF4177

The course will be taught in English.

• Please enroll in ILIAS

There will be an oral examination at the end of the term.

The course will be accompanied by practical exercises.

• Implementing vision enhancing algorithms
• Building an auto-stereoscopic display
• Exercise group meetings bi-weekly
• Groups of two allowed

The final grade will be given by the oral exam.

If you successfully participate in the exercises you can earn a 0,3 bonus for the final grade.
