Aims & Scope

The Visual Computer publishes high-quality research on all aspects of computer graphics and visual computing, with a special focus on the rapidly evolving integration of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and graphics. Modern visual computing stands at the convergence of graphics (generative, simulation, rendering), vision (analysis, perception, scene understanding) and AI (representation learning, generative models, multimodal models). The Visual Computer is one of the few journals that explicitly embraces this intersection and publishes research that combines all three. The journal welcomes original contributions that advance the theory, algorithms, systems, and applications enabling the creation, analysis, and interaction with visual content .
