Subject at a glance<\/h2>\n
Visual imagery constitutes the most important sensory information for humans and is of central importance in communication networks, multimedia applications in smartphones, industrial quality control, medical technology, driver assistance systems, pattern recognition problems in bioinformatics, scientific computing, augmented reality, media design and robotics. Therefore, more and more information is represented by digital images and visual simulations.<\/p>\n
In the hierarchy of senses, vision frequently is seen to be the most important one. Media and communication face a continuous evolution from textual over auditory towards visual representations. Computational processing of such data is the foundation of its general availability. The master\u2019s program in Visual Computing denotes the entire field of acquisition, analysis and synthesis of visual data by means of computers and focuses on fundamental principles, processes and applications of computer-assisted processing of visual information.<\/p>\n
