Declining or Waning

While the journal has consistently focused on core areas of visual computing, certain themes have shown a decline in prominence over recent years. These themes reflect shifting interests within the research community or saturation in specific methodologies.
  1. Traditional Computer Graphics Techniques:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focused on classical rendering methods and basic graphical techniques, as newer, more complex methods such as AI-driven graphics have gained traction.
  2. Basic Image Filtering and Enhancement Techniques:
    Techniques that rely solely on traditional filtering methods without integrating deep learning have seen reduced interest, as more sophisticated approaches are preferred.
  3. Static Image Analysis:
    Research focused on static images without temporal components has diminished, as there is a growing emphasis on dynamic and interactive visual content.
  4. Simple Object Tracking Methods:
    Traditional object tracking methods that do not leverage modern machine learning techniques are becoming less common, as researchers prefer more robust and adaptive solutions.
  5. Low-Level Image Processing:
    There is less focus on low-level processing tasks, such as basic edge detection and histogram equalization, as the field moves towards higher-level semantic understanding.
