The Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms deals with various aspects of computergraphics and general computer algorithms.
A central research area of the institute is the field of algorithms and data structures. Considered topics range from general foundations to practical applications. Combinatorial optimization with exact and heuristic methods, algorithms on graphs, and algorithmic aspects of bioinformatics form particular foci.
The second research area includes most areas of generative computer graphics, where the main fields are scientific vsualisation, information visualisation, realtime graphics, photorealistic graphics and colour. With these many application areas are supported, such as medical visualisation, computer games, and industrial prototyping. cooperations with companies are mainly carried out by the Kplus competence center VRVis (www.vrvis.at).
