Generalized digital documents

Some problems that are extremely well known in the context of classical documents can, to some extent, not yet even be clearly formulated in the case of multimedia data.

Semantics in the modeling process

The problem with previous methods and, above all, process chains in computer graphics is that either the semantics of a model at the time of creation were not explicitly made (could not be explicit

Confluence of graphics and vision

If the core expertise of Fraunhofer IGD is seen to lie in the somewhat more broadly conceived field of Visual Computing, then almost all the current challenges in research and industry turn out to
