All Graphics, Imaging and Symbolic Computation

Fields concerned with producing and manipulating images and mathematical expressions by computer. It covers the synthesis of images and animation, the computational capture and processing of photographs, and software that manipulates equations, polynomials and other symbols exactly rather than numerically. A field belongs here when its output is an image or an exact symbolic result. It excludes the interpretation of images, which belongs to the vision group, and interactive immersive environments, which belong to Human-Centered Computing.
