Topics include various advanced visualization topics: feature extraction, non-photorealistic rendering, point-based rendering, hardware-accelerated rendering, segmentation, image generation, animation, evaluation, design, and interaction. The course topics include 2D/3D stippling, interactive line drawings, animated visualization, non-photorealisitc rendering, design, and evaluation of illustrative visualization approaches.
