This lecture delves into the rasterization pipeline, focusing on the importance of triangle measures in computer graphics. The instructor explains the significance of working with simple primitives like triangles, the concept of barycentric coordinates for interpolation, and the use of Z-buffer for visibility determination. The lecture covers topics such as triangle mesh composition, affine transformations, line rasterization, per-vertex shading, and Z-buffer algorithm for depth testing. Additionally, the instructor discusses the challenges of aliasing, the benefits of deferred shading, and the implementation of a logarithmic Z-buffer for precision improvement.
