Computational visualistics
This work includes classifying information within images, such as identifying geometric shapes (e.g., circular regions), recognizing handwritten text, detecting spatial objects, and associating stylistic attributes.The exploration of how operations involving non-pictorial data types can generate images is particularly relevant in computer graphics and information visualization.Computer graphics focuses on creating images that represent spatial configurations of objects, often in a naturalistic manner, such as in virtual architecture.These image-generating algorithms typically start with data describing three-dimensional geometry and scene lighting, along with the optical properties of surfaces.Students also develop communicative skills and apply their knowledge in practical areas such as biology and medicine, particularly in fields involving digital image data like microscopy and radiology.
