Preface

Summary form only given, as follows. During the past decades, computer science has experienced a period of unprecedented progress. This fast, near dazzling pace denotes the need and use of information that governs all walks of life and interests. Computer Graphics, Imaging and Vision (CGIV), in particular, occupies a pivotal platform in this route - it has shifted the concept of visualisation to a more mature state whereby it has become synonymous with a "Visual Culture" that gives a pleomorphic concept its skeleton and shape. This book aims to reflect the intellectual breadth, research, and the empirical scope of the evolving spectra of Computer Graphics, Imaging and Vision in the light of the visual culture.
