An Undergraduate Computer Graphics - Image Processing Laboratory

计算机科学系、物理系和应用光学系正在建立一个跨学科的计算机图形和图像处理实验室。实验室设施允许本科生研究隐藏表面去除，颜色，阴影和照明对计算机图形图像的影响。学生还将学习边缘检测算法、图像重建和全息干涉测量。动画序列在实验室实时或逐帧生成，并存储在录像带上。该设备允许学生进行高级项目，研究科学和工程数据的图形显示方法。该实验室支持一个新的、团队授课的医学图像处理跨学科课程。作为课程的一部分，学生将学习医疗数据的图形显示方法。这大大提高了罗斯-霍尔曼学生参加美国国家科学基金会资助的杜克大学工程研究中心本科生研究经验项目的准备工作，该中心正在研究心血管数据的图形显示方法。计算机科学和应用光学专业的学生在实验室中相互交流，相互咨询对方的项目，并共同进行跨学科的项目。强烈鼓励学生利用实验室设备进行计算机图形学和图像处理方面的本科研究，并发表他们的工作成果。

An interdisciplinary computer graphics and image processing laboratory is being developed by the Departments of Computer Science, and Physics and Applied Optics. Laboratory facilities permit undergraduate students to investigate the effects of hidden surface removal, color, shading, and lighting on computer graphics images. Students also study edge detection algorithms, image reconstruction, and holographic interferometry. Animation sequences are generated in the laboratory in real time or frame by frame and stored on videotape. The equipment allows students to undertake senior projects that investigate graphical display methods for scientific and engineering data. The laboratory supports a new, team-taught interdisciplinary course in medical image processing. As part of the course, students learn about graphical display methods for medical data. This significantly enhances the preparation of Rose-Hulman students participating in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the NSF sponsored Engineering Research Center at Duke University, where graphical display methods for cardiovascular data are being studied. Computer science and applied optics students interact with each other in the laboratory, consulting on each other's projects as well as doing joint, interdisciplinary projects. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue undergraduate research in computer graphics and image processing with the laboratory equipment, and to publish the results of their work.
