Aims and 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.

We invite work in areas including (but not limited to):

Rendering and Real-Time Graphics
Neural Rendering and AI-Based Graphics Pipelines
Generative Models for Visual Computing (diffusion, transformers, VLMs, multimodal models)
Geometry Processing and 3D Reconstruction
Neural Scene Representations (NeRFs, 3D Gaussians, SDFs)
Image and Video Processing, Restoration, and Enhancement
Computer Vision for Graphics, including detection, segmentation, pose estimation, and scene understanding
3D reconstruction from Images and Video
Animation, Simulation, and Digital Humans
Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (XR)
Computational Photography
Perception-Driven Graphics & User Interaction
Visual Analytics and Scientific Visualization
AI-Assisted Content Creation and Authoring Tools
