Abstract

This presentation will highlight the current innovative technologies and applications in computer graphics. As we all are well aware that computer graphics has successful applications in all aspects of life. Currently it really proves a common proverb “ a picture is better than thousand words”. Its applications could be found on television, newspapers, all sorts of advertisements. Its particular applications are in weather forecasting, animations, animated movies, medical cure and treatment. A well-constructed graph is a successfully present complex data in such a manner that is simple to understand and interpret even for a common person. In the electronic and paper media, graphics are employed to provide comparison of achievements in all sectors of enterprises to attract new business. Currently, several innovative tools are available in the market to visualize data. This visualization could be categorized into several different types: two dimensional (2D), three dimensional (3D), and , however are high processer demanding. Therefore, 2D computer graphics are still acceptable and applicable. Computer graphics are emerged as a sub-area of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Over the past decade, other specialized fields have been developed like information visualization, and scientific visualization more concerned with "the visualization of three dimensional phenomena (architectural, meteorological, medical, biological, etc.), where the emphasis is on realistic renderings of volumes, surfaces, illumination sources, and so forth, perhaps with a dynamic (time) component". The most common applications of computer graphics are 3D projection, Ray tracing, Shading, Texture mapping, Anti-aliasing, Volume rendering, 3D modelling.
