Computer graphics “are graphics created using computers and
the representation of image data by a computer specifically with help from
specialized graphic hardware and software.” (Wiki) Computer Graphics have been nearly
40 years of development and got into a more mature phase. Its main application
domain includes computer-aided design and processing, animation, military simulation,
medical image processing, and visualization of meteorology, geology,
electromagnetic, and financial and economics.
Due to the successful use of computer graphics in these areas,
especially in the rapid development of the animation industry, has brought
considerable economic benefits. Animation industry is the priori develop green
industry in every countries, which has high-tech, high investment, and high
output characteristics. According to statistics, as of March 2009, the 3D
animation “Shrek 2”, was produced by DreamWorks with $150 million production budget, received
around 920 million worldwide box offices. On the other hand, due to the
promotion of these areas of application, the development of computer graphics has
to face new opportunities and challenges.
In our daily lives, the popularity of digital cameras and
home video camera is growing very fast. Digital image and video data processing
has become a hot issue in computer research. The technology of computer
graphics will be utilized within these image processing and visions. It can
directly generate stylized pictures and animation sequences based on video and
image data as well as achieve image-based three-dimensional models. Therefore,
it can bring limitless imagination and construct a lot of visual effects.

Hey Wenlong,
ReplyDeleteIndeed the use of computer graphic is becoming very popular. These days, the tools that we use to create images are becoming easier and easier to use. Computer graphic program like Photoshop are also becoming easier for people to use to generate very realistic images. Even though something like it never exist. Like the first picture that you used above. Increasing, our phone is becoming powerful enough to handle these computer graphic editing program. We can all almost create and edit image on the go. It is something quite amazing if we think about it.
