How can you use emerging computer graphics and visualization techniques?

2 Generative adversarial networks

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a type of neural network that can generate new data from existing data, such as images, videos, or text. GANs consist of two components: a generator and a discriminator. The generator tries to create realistic data that can fool the discriminator, while the discriminator tries to distinguish between real and fake data. The generator and the discriminator learn from each other and improve their performance over time. You can use GANs to create synthetic data for training, testing, or augmenting your models, or to generate novel and creative content for your projects.

3 Volume rendering

Volume rendering is a technique that visualizes three-dimensional data as a continuous volume, rather than as a collection of discrete points, lines, or surfaces. Volume rendering can reveal the internal structure and properties of the data, such as density, opacity, color, or texture. Volume rendering is widely used in medical imaging, geoscience, engineering, and astronomy, where it can help analyze and understand complex and large data sets. You can use volume rendering to explore and present your data in an intuitive and interactive way, or to create realistic and artistic effects for your graphics.

4 Procedural modeling

Procedural modeling is a technique that generates models or scenes based on rules, algorithms, or parameters, rather than manually creating them. Procedural modeling can save time and resources, as well as produce variety and diversity in the output. Procedural modeling is often used to create natural phenomena, such as terrain, plants, clouds, or water, or to populate large and complex environments with buildings, roads, or crowds. You can use procedural modeling to create dynamic and scalable content for your games, simulations, or animations.
