At NYU, Computer Vision is concerned with algorithms and theory necessary to extract information from visual data (images, video, range scans, stereo images, 3D MRI and CAT scan data etc). There is a growing overlap between computer vision and graphics research, as the data acquired from images and video is increasingly used in computer graphics applications.

Researchers in Computer Graphics work on computational and mathematical techniques for creating and manipulating computer representations of real and virtual objects and making images of such objects. The main directions of computer graphics research at NYU include animation, geometric modeling, physically-based simulation and computational photography.

Other related areas include work on visual perception, clinical neuroimaging, robotic vision, and visualization methodologies for large data.
