Coordinate Systems
● Almost everything in CG revolves around 
coordinate systems:
– Object description.
– Object transformation.
– Camera definition.
– Projection onto the screen.

What is the Graphics Pipeline?
The Graphics Pipeline comprises the sequence 
of steps needed to transform the 
mathematical/geometric description of a scene 
into a discrete image on the screen.
Basically, each step of the pipeline 
transforms geometric descriptions from 
one coordinate system (space) to another!

Model Description
● It is accomplished in the Object Coordinate 
System (or Object Space).

Putting Everything Together
● It is done in the World Coordinate System (or 
World Space).

Aiming the Camera at the Scene
● The camera defines a new coordinate system: 
the Camera Coordinate System (or Camera 
Space).

Taking the Picture: From 3D to 2D
● The camera also defines whether parallel or 
perspective projection will be used.

Remember the PutPixel() func.?
● Pixels are addressed through the Screen 
Coordinate System (or Screen Space).
