Aims and scope. In the past few years, computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing have begun to merge. Increases in computational power and powerful integrated graphics, image manipulation, and video processing hardware open up possibilities for exploiting the synergy between image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics in exciting new ways. Furthermore, the advent of multimodal or multisensor data, such as in medical imaging, has prompted the development of visualization and analysis algorithms that require the use of computer vision, image processing, as well as computer graphics techniques.
Substantial progress has been made in tying computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing together in image synthesis, model building, and image-based rendering to dramatically improve the way real world environments and events are modeled, synthesized, and re-created. Real-time algorithms in these areas have the potential of revolutionizing communications and human-computer interaction.
In computer graphics, image synthesis uses complex models for shading, reflection, texture, anti-aliasing, camera properties, and color. In computer vision, increasingly sophisticated models of the image synthesis process are used to aid the interpretation of images.
Computer graphics employs geometric models such as sets of polygons, complex surfaces, implicit functions, or bounded volumes to describe objects. In computer vision, the result of scene analysis is often a structural description of the scene represented as surfaces or volumes. Thus, spatial representations serve as a common element in both fields. Incorporating various attributes (for example, material, reflectance, texture) and physical or behavioral elements as part of object behavior can enhance geometric models in both computer graphics and computer vision. Success of computer vision algorithms in deriving such properties from real world imagery increases the efficacy of computer graphics animations and simulations that re-create the appearance of the real world or create entirely new images and environments.
Image-based rendering is a computer graphics technique for rendering photo-realistic images in real time. Instead of reliance on an explicit geometric model of an environment as in traditional computer graphics, images are synthesized directly from a set of images of the environment. Image-based rendering techniques may benefit from an approximate model of the environment to speed up processing, or from depth measurements generated from the images using traditional computer vision techniques.
In response to these trends, Graphical Models emphasizes the interaction between computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing in the following areas:
- algebraic surface models
- animation
- behavioral or procedural motion
- biomedical imaging
- computer vision techniques for three-dimensional model building
- computer vision techniques for user interfaces
- curves and surfaces
- geometrical algorithms
- human figure and character animation
- image-based rendering
- modeling and animation systems
- motion capture and retargeting
- physics-based modeling
- polygonal meshes
- real-time visual simulation
- scientific visualization
- three-dimensional displays
- virtual and augmented environments
- applications in these areas
A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier researchers in their fields oversees the editorial contents of the journal. The journal's editorship by Norman Badler and Ingrid Carlbom represents academic and corporate research interests, respectively. An associate editor, Dimitris Metaxas, assists the editors-in-chief in review assignment and review management.
All papers are evaluated by an Editorial Board member and reviewed by at least two other reviewers. Suitability for publication will be based on relevance to the editorial goals of Graphical Models, originality, technical quality, importance, and readability.
Submission of manuscripts. Manuscripts must be written in English and submitted electronically in PDF, PostScript, DVI, or editable file format with one hard copy and original, good-quality artwork. If you are unable to submit electronically, please submit hard copy in quadruplicate (one original and three copies), including four sets of figures to the address above. There are no submission fees or page charges. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance.
Acceptance. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, please provide a revised editable file by FTP or e-mail (as an attachment). If hard copy was not supplied at the revision stage, then please do supply hard copy at acceptance, ensuring that all artwork is of good quality.
Electronic submission. Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via computer disk, e-mail, or FTP each time a new version is submitted. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX template available at http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex for manuscript preparation. Otherwise please follow the hard-copy manuscript preparation guidelines below. Note that extensive use of custom macros may necessitate conventional typesetting from the hard-copy manuscript. Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art that exactly match the electronic file must be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that no substantial portion of the study has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. It is further understood that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation; written authorization may be required at an editor-in-chief's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Graphical Models represent the opinions of the authors and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the editors-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, or the publisher. Manuscripts that do not meet the general criteria or standards for publication in Graphical Models will be immediately returned to the authors without detailed review.
Copyright and permissions. Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted or trademarked works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the following style rules. Deviation from these rules causes publication delays.
Preparation of manuscript. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch (21.3 x 27.5-cm) or A4 white paper. Number all pages consecutively and organize the paper as follows.
Title page (page 1). This page should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
Abstract (page 2). The abstract must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
Footnotes. In text, footnotes should be avoided. If absolutely necessary, identify them by superscript Arabic numerals in order of their appearance and type them together on a separate page, double-spaced.
Tables. Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title directly above and essential footnotes below. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Figures. Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. Figures must not be embedded in the text. Digital artwork of at least 300 dpi resolution is accepted in .eps or .tif formats. Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork. Type all legends consecutively on a separate sheet.
Color figures. One color plate will be published free of charge in each article, provided color is deemed scientifically necessary by the reviewers and the Editorial Board. Submit color illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35-mm slides. Polaroid color prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures, Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) in addition to the one free color plate regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. Additional color figures in the print version will be charged to the author.
Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise by converting color figures to "gray scale" (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable black-and-white prints corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Equations. All equations should be typewritten and the numbers for displayed equations should be placed in parentheses at the right margin. References to equations should use the form "Eq. (3)" or simply "(3)."
References to the literature should be cited by number in square brackets in the text and listed in numerical order at the end.
