Computer Animation and Vision Laboratory

计算机动画、科学可视化和计算机视觉领域的迅速发展，使学生有机会使用适当的实验室设备，以便他们可以实践在课堂上学到的技术，并熟悉现代动画和视觉仪器的使用。该项目包括购置动画设备和计算机视觉输入设备，以更新和扩展大学现有的图形实验室。动画与视觉实验室将开设两门新课程：动画技术和科学可视化方法。它还将为当前的计算机视觉课程提供一个动手实验室。该实验室将用于开发学生在这些课程中指定的程序和动画，以及独立学习，特别是高级项目和硕士论文。该实验室还将被讲师用来制作演示各种动画、计算机图形和科学可视化概念和算法的录像带。教师开发的课程材料，特别是利用全方位图形技术帮助学生理解复杂概念的教学视频，将在适当情况下与科罗拉多州立大学其他校区和其他机构共享。

Rapid expansion in the areas of Computer Animation, Scientific Visualization, and Computer Vision make it desirable that students have access to appropriate laboratory equipment so that they may practice the techniques they learn in the classroom and become familiar with the use of modern animation and vision instrumentation. This project involves acquisition of animation equipment and computer vision input devices that will update and expand the University's existing graphics laboratory. The Animation and Vision lab will allow two new courses to be taught, Animation Techniques and Scientific Visualization Methods. It will also provide a hands-on laboratory for the current Computer Vision course. The lab will be used for development of student assigned programs and animations in these courses as well as independent study and especially senior projects and master's theses. The lab will also be used by instructors to develop videotapes which demonstrate various animation, computer graphics, and scientific visualization concepts and algorithms. Course materials developed by instructors, in particular instructional videos which utilize the full spectrum of graphics techniques to aid students in understanding sophisticated concepts, will be shared with other CSU campuses and additional institutions as appropriate.
