Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Almost fifty years have passed since the first system of computer graphics was developed. Recently, we see synthetic images created by using computer graphics techniques everywhere in our daily life. In this report, fundamental and application techniques of computer graphics are reviewed by tracing the history of computer graphics. The history of computer graphics can be classified into three stages: a founding period, a growth period, and a maturity period. In the founding period, most of the fundamental techniques were developed such as the hidden surface removal, basic intensity calculation, display of shadows, and texture mapping. These techniques have been used continuously until today. Next, in the growth period, techniques that enable us to synthesize images with higher realism were developed such as the ray tracing. Methods developed in this period were not only for the realistic image synthesis. Various types of methods, such as illustrative rendering of 3D objects, were developed in order to extend the ability of computer graphics. Nowadays, the computer graphics research is in the period of maturity. Based on the methods developed in the founding and the growth periods, novel application techniques are actively developed. Thanks to the development of high performance computers, methods for displaying complicated and large-scale objects tend to be developed. A low-cost but high-performance parallel processing unit, called GPU, significantly accelerates this research trend. This report provides with a brief study of the past and the future of computer graphics by looking over the history of computer graphics,
