Computational Visualistics: Dealing with Pictures in Computer Science
Bildwissenschaft zwischen Reflexion und Anwendung, Halem, Köln, (2004)Abstract
Building blocks from many disciplines have to be integrated into a general science of images. Computational visualistics has been formed as a contributing field embracing all aspects of dea-ling with images computationally. Two basic concepts of computer science are introduced. Ap-plied to the concept "image", they determine the methodological core of computational visuali-stics. As the contribution of computer science to the subject of image theory, interactive pictures are examined. Finally, relations to other "image sciences" are sketched.
