General content

The Lab course is intended to teach C++ for Image Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualization. You will be confronted with a summary about the basics of C++ e.g. preprocessing, compiling, linking, the language itself, version control (SVN). Further topics will be GUIs with QT, 3D Computer Graphics with OpenGL. In this lab course we will use CAMPAR, an advanced medical AR framework, to develop medical AR applications.

Prerequisites

The Projekt Systementwicklung requires basic knowledge in C++. The concepts of OO Programming and other concepts as conducted in the Introduction to CS lecture are assumed.
