Interactive Computer Graphics Midterm Exam Nov 21, 2012
1. (20%) Shading
(a) (10%) Indicate the strength and weakness of flat shading, Gouraud
shading, and Phong shading.
(b) (5%) Simply using these illumination methods to render a 3D scene with
multiple objects and single light source, what is missing with regard
to the rendering equation?
(c) (5%) How can you solve the problem in question(b)?
2. (10%) Ray-Tracing is time-consuming because of numerous and independent
ray calculations. Please propose at least 3 methods to speed up
Ray-Tracing algorithm.
3. (10%) Graphic Pipeline

It is a simplified computer graphic pipeline. Please describe the functions
of each stage.
(Do not regard it as a specific CG API such as OpenGL, please describe the
general reason why we need these stages in computer graphic)
4. (10%) Curves and Surfaces

(a) Please give a brief comparison (advantages) between Bezier curve and
B-spline.
(b) Given a 4-point Bezier curve B(t) with points P0(8,1,0), P1(6,9,0),
P2(14,9,0), P3(16,1,0), please calculate the value of new control
points if the Bezier curve is split into two Bezier curves at the
middle point.
(c) Using the values you have obtained from (b). Please sketch the
Bezier curve B(t), starting from P0 and ending at P3.
5. (10%) Visibility

(a) Construct the BSP tree of the model in Figure 1 below. (use polygon 1
as root, and always use smaller number polygon to the left of the tree)
(b) From the BSP tree in (a), derive the correct display sequence in terms
of viewing position (eye).
6. (5%) Clipping & Transformation
A line can be clipped by Cohen-Sutherland algorithm in your homework. Now
you are asked to do polygon clipping (i.e., a clipped primitive is still a
polygon): Please write a pseudo code for clipping a triangle.
Note: Assuming the clipping box (cuboid) is enclosed by: x = -1, x = 1,
y = -1, y = 1, z = -1, z = 1. And the vertices of the triangle are:
((x0, y0, z0), (x1, y1, z1), (x2, y2, z2))
7. (20%) Denote R_x(θ), R_y(θ), R_z(θ) as functions to rotate an object
about angle θ along three principle axis of your camera.
Note: Assuming camera is aligned in world system. (i.e. It is located at the
origin, targets along z direction, and be up along y direction)
(a) Denote O_x, O_y, O_z as principle axis of an object O, and its
center is located on (x_c, y_c, z_c). Please design an algorithm for
self-rotation alone three principle axis of the object respectively
in terms of R_x, R_y, R_z and x_c, y_c, z_c. You can define other
matrices for your convenience
(b) An extension on (a). Please design a self-rotation along x axis of
the object and simultaneously orbital rotation along z axis of camera
(similar to the fig. below).

8. (5%) What is your term project for this semester? What are the
technical difficulties involved in the project? (You can refer to
the project listing).
9. (10%) In 2D, a rotation transformation by angle can be specified as a
series of shear transformation matrices. Give these matrices, or if it
can't be done, prove it.
