the object.
New coordinates:

x′ 1 0 0 tx x
′
y 0 1 0 ty y
P′ = P + T or =
z′ 0 0 1 tz z
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

1 0 0 0 1 1

Effect:
Shifts the object in space.
Used for animation, repositioning, and object placement.

 Example:
Moving a cube from origin (0,0,0) to (3,2,5) involves a translation vector T (3, 2, 5).

2. Rotation

Definition: Rotation pivots an object around a fixed axis (X, Y, or Z) in 3D space.

Mathematics of Rotation:
The rotation is described using an angle θ (in radians) and a fixed axis.
Rotation about:
X-axis:

1 0 0 0
0 cos θ − sin θ 0
Rx (θ) =
0 sin θ cos θ 0
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

0 0 0 1

Y-axis:

cos θ 0 sin θ 0
0 1 0 0
Ry (θ) =
− sin θ 0 cos θ 0
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

0 0 0 1

Z-axis:

Preserves the shape and size of the object.
Applications:
Used for spinning objects, rotations in animations, and aligning objects.
Example:
Rotating a cube 45° around the Z-axis.

3. Scaling

Definition: Scaling alters the size of an object either uniformly or non-uniformly along the X, Y, and
Z axes.
Mathematics of Scaling:
Defined by scaling factors S(sx, sy, sz), where sx, sy, sz determine the scaling along each
axis.
Transformation matrix:

Non-Uniform Scaling: Different scaling factors for each axis.
Effect:
Changes the size of the object.
Does not affect the shape (in uniform scaling).
Applications:
Zooming in and out, resizing objects, and creating perspective effects.
Example:
Scaling a cube by a factor of 2 along the X-axis and 1.5 along the Y-axis.

Combined Transformation Example

 Hidden Surface elimination: Depth
comparison, Back face detection algorithm, Painter’s Algorithm, Z-Buffer Algorithm. Curve
generation, Bezier and B-spline methods

Hidden Surface Elimination & Curve Generation Methods

1. Hidden Surface Elimination

Hidden surface elimination is a process in computer graphics used to determine which surfaces of 3D
objects are visible to the viewer and which are hidden. It ensures realistic rendering by not displaying
hidden surfaces.

Techniques of Hidden Surface Elimination

A. Depth Comparison

Compares the depth (z-value) of surfaces at each pixel to decide which surface is visible.
Simpler but less efficient for complex scenes.

B. Back-Face Detection Algorithm

Concept: A face is considered a "back face" if it faces away from the viewer.
Steps:
1. Calculate the surface normal vector of each polygon.
2. If the dot product of the surface normal and the view direction is negative, it is a back face
and can be ignored.
Advantages:
Computationally efficient.
Eliminates about half of the polygons in a convex object.
Limitations:
Doesn't handle overlapping surfaces.

C. Painter’s Algorithm

Concept: Draw polygons from back to front, so closer objects overwrite farther ones.
Steps:
1. Sort polygons by their depth (z-value).
2. Render the farthest polygons first.
Example: Paint distant mountains before trees in front.
Advantages:
Simple to implement.
Limitations:
Cannot handle intersecting polygons.

D. Z-Buffer Algorithm

Concept: Uses a depth buffer (Z-buffer) to store depth values for each pixel on the screen.
Steps:
1. Initialize the Z-buffer with a maximum depth value.
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 8/32
 2. For each pixel, compare the z-value of the current object with the value in the Z-buffer.
3. Update the Z-buffer and display the pixel if the object is closer.
Advantages:
Handles overlapping and intersecting surfaces.
Suitable for real-time rendering.
Limitations:
Requires additional memory for the Z-buffer.

2. Curve Generation

Curves are essential in computer graphics for creating smooth and realistic shapes, paths, and surfaces.

Bezier Curves

Definition: A parametric curve defined by control points.

Formula:
n
B(t) = ∑ ( )(1 − t)n−i ti Pi ,
n
​ ​ ​ 0≤t≤1
i
i=0

Pi : Control points.
​

n: Degree of the curve.

Properties:
Always passes through the first and last control points.
Curve lies within the convex hull of the control points.
Smooth and continuous.
Applications:
Used in animation, font design, and CAD.

Steps to Draw Bezier Curve:

1. Define control points.

2. Use De Casteljau’s algorithm to evaluate the curve iteratively.
3. Vary t from 0 to 1 for the curve path.

B-Spline Curves

Definition: A generalization of Bezier curves offering better control and smoothness.

Key Features:
Defined using basis functions and knots.
Divided into segments (piecewise curves).
Local control: Changing one control point affects only part of the curve.
Formula:
n
C(t) = ∑ Ni,k (t)Pi
​ ​ ​

i=0

Ni,k (t): Basis function of degree k .

​

Advantages:
More flexible than Bezier curves.

Applications:
Used in modeling, computer-aided design, and 3D graphics.

Comparison of Bezier and B-Spline Curves

Feature Bezier Curves B-Spline Curves

Control Points Entire curve depends on all control points. Local control over parts of the curve.
Continuity Ensures continuity within one segment. Ensures continuity across segments.

Flexibility Less flexible for large shapes. More flexible for complex shapes.

 Compression: Lossless/Lossy
Compression techniques

Compression: Lossless and Lossy Techniques

Compression is a technique used to reduce the size of data for storage, transmission, or processing
while maintaining acceptable quality or integrity.

1. Types of Compression

A. Lossless Compression:

Ensures that the original data can be fully reconstructed without any loss.
Ideal for text, data, or critical information.
Examples:
ZIP files for general data.
FLAC for audio.
PNG for images.

B. Lossy Compression:

Removes redundant or less significant data to reduce file size.

Cannot reconstruct the original data fully.
Ideal for multimedia (images, videos, audio) where some quality loss is acceptable.
Examples:
MP3 for audio.
JPEG for images.
H.264/HEVC for video.

2. Lossless Compression Techniques

1. Run-Length Encoding (RLE):

Compresses sequences of repeating characters.
Example: `AAAAAA` becomes `6A`.
Used in simple graphics and text.
2. Huffman Coding:
Assigns shorter binary codes to more frequent symbols.
Example: Text files and images like TIFF.
3. Arithmetic Coding:
Represents entire messages as a single number within a specific range.
More efficient than Huffman coding in some cases.
4. LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch):
Builds a dictionary of repeated sequences for replacement.
Used in GIFs and TIFFs.
5. Deflate Algorithm:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 28/32
 Combines LZ77 and Huffman coding.
Used in ZIP and GZIP formats.
6. Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT):
Rearranges data to group similar characters together.
Often used with other compression techniques.

3. Lossy Compression Techniques

1. Transform Coding:
Converts data into a different domain (e.g., frequency domain) and eliminates insignificant
parts.
Example: Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) used in JPEG.
2. Quantization:
Reduces the precision of less important data.
Example: Reducing color depth in images or audio bit rates.
3. Perceptual Coding:
Removes data that is unlikely to be noticed by human senses.
Example: Masking frequencies in MP3 audio that the human ear cannot hear.
4. Wavelet Compression:
Uses wavelet transformations to compress data hierarchically.
Example: JPEG 2000 for high-quality images.
5. Motion Compensation:
Removes redundancy in video sequences by referencing earlier frames.
Example: Used in H.264 and HEVC.

4. Applications

Lossless Compression:
Text documents, databases, and archival purposes.
Examples: ZIP files, PNG images.
Lossy Compression:
Multimedia content like music, movies, and online images.
Examples: MP3 audio, JPEG images, and video streams.

Certainly! Here's a detailed overview of compression, including lossless and lossy techniques, from
our discussion:

Compression: Introduction

Compression is a process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation,
making data more efficient for storage, transmission, and processing. It is broadly divided into Lossless
Compression (no data loss) and Lossy Compression (some data is irreversibly discarded).

1. Lossless Compression

Lossless compression ensures the original data can be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed
data. It is essential for text, critical documents, or any scenario where data integrity is paramount.

Techniques:

1. Run-Length Encoding (RLE):

Simplifies data with repeating characters by replacing sequences with a count and the value.
Example:
Original: `AAAAABBBCCDDDD`
Encoded: `5A3B2C4D`
Uses: Simple graphics formats like BMP and text data.
2. Huffman Coding:
Assigns shorter codes to more frequently occurring symbols based on their probability.
Example:
For text: `E` (most frequent) might get a code like `10`, while `Z` (least frequent) might
get `111101`.
Uses: File formats like JPEG (for lossless parts), PNG, and ZIP.
3. Arithmetic Coding:
Encodes the entire data into a single number between 0 and 1, based on probabilities of
symbols.
More efficient for data with uneven symbol distributions than Huffman.
Uses: High-efficiency systems like some video codecs.
4. LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch):
Builds a dictionary of repeated sequences in data, replacing those sequences with shorter
codes.
Uses: GIF and TIFF image formats, as well as Unix `compress`.
5. Deflate Algorithm:
Combines LZ77 (sliding window compression) with Huffman coding for robust lossless
compression.
Uses: ZIP, GZIP, and PNG formats.
6. Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT):
Rearranges input data so similar characters appear together, making it more compressible
using RLE or Huffman.
Uses: Tools like bzip2.

2. Lossy Compression

Lossy compression permanently removes less critical data, significantly reducing file sizes at the cost of
some quality. It is most commonly used for multimedia like images, audio, and video.

Techniques:

1. Transform Coding:
Converts data into a different domain (e.g., frequency) where irrelevant components are
eliminated.
Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT):
Breaks down images into frequency components.
Example: JPEG compression eliminates high-frequency components humans don’t
notice.
2. Quantization:
Rounds off less significant data to reduce precision and size.
Example: Lowering bit depth in images or reducing audio fidelity.
3. Perceptual Coding:
Exploits limitations of human perception to remove data unlikely to be noticed.
Example: MP3 compression removes frequencies inaudible to humans.
4. Wavelet Compression:
Uses wavelet transformations to encode data hierarchically.
Retains important details while discarding less significant data.
Uses: JPEG 2000, medical imaging.
5. Motion Compensation:
For video compression, it predicts and removes redundant data across frames.
Uses: H.264, HEVC, VP9.

3. Applications and Use Cases

Lossless Compression:

Text and Documents:

ZIP, GZIP, PNG for files where every bit is crucial.
Critical Applications:
Medical imaging (e.g., DICOM files).
Archiving legal documents or databases.

Lossy Compression:
