Abstract
The goal of visual modeling research is to develop mathematical models and associated algorithms for the analysis and synthesis of visual information. Image analysis and synthesis characterize the domains of computer vision and computer graphics, respectively. For nearly three decades, the vision and graphics fields have been developing almost entirely independently—this despite the fact that, at least conceptually, the two disciplines are bound in a mutually converse relationship. Graphics, the direct problem, involves the synthesis of images from object models, whereas vision, the inverse problem, involves the analysis of images to infer object models.
