CS 453 / 553 -- Spring Quarter 2019
Test #2 Review
This page was last updated: June 3, 2015
This will be a multiple choice test on a Scantron (fill-in-the-bubble) form.
From the OSU Test Scoring User Guide:
"The scanner reads reflective optical marks and only a number 2 or softer (i.e., a smaller number)
lead pencil should be used.
Ball Point Pen and Marker type pencils should not be used."
Don't try to second-guess me about patterns in the answers -- I have a program that randomly tells me what letter to put each right answer under. :-)
Test date and time:
| Thursday, June 13, 2019 |
| 9:30 - 11:00 AM |
| Kearney 112 |
Test rules:
-
This is Test #2, not a comprehensive final. However, . . .
- . . . I reserve the right to re-use a few verbatim questions from Test #1.
-
The test is worth 100 points.
-
It's closed notes.
-
You are responsible for:
- what is in all handouts,
- what was said in class,
- what you have done in the projects.
-
The test is designed to be done in 50 minutes,
but you will have the full 90 minutes.
-
The test is over promptly at 11:00.
Only the tests that have been turned in by then will be graded.
The test can potentially cover any of the following topics:
-
Terrain visualization.
Assigning texture coordinates.
Height exaggeration for visualization.
Additional height exaggeration for lighting.
Which directions are longitude and latitude?
Transfer functions.
Sculpting the transfer function to get specific colors in specific places.
Map projections.
-
Parallel Coordinates.
What positive correlation, negative correlation, and no correlation look like.
-
Direct volume rendering.
Transfer functions.
Compositing (blending).
Volume rendering using parallel texture planes.
Determining the surface normal for lighting.
Applications.
-
ParaView Volume Rendering:
transfer functions, lighting.
-
Stencil buffer.
What is it?
How does it work?
What can you use it for?
-
Accumulation buffer.
What is it?
How does it work?
What can you use it for?
-
Ethics in Visualization.
Case Study.
Visualization vs. Conceptualization.
-
Delauney Triangulation. What is it? What does it tell you?
Voronoi diagram. What is it? What does it tell you?
Re-sampling.
Interpolated scalar values within a triangle.
-
More Information about visualization and computer graphics.
The test can potentially cover any of these projects:
-
Project #5: Vector Clouds with Range Sliders
-
Project #6: ParaView Vector Visualization
-
Project #7: ParaView Terrain Visualization
-
Project #8: ParaView Volume Visualization
