這本雜志的中心焦點是圖像信息的計算機分析。計算機視覺和圖像理解出版的論文涵蓋了圖像分析的各個方面，從早期視覺的低水平、標志性過程到識別和解釋的高水平、象征性過程。圖像理解領(lǐng)域涉及廣泛的主題，包括提供不同于主要觀點的見解的論文。研究領(lǐng)域包括：?理論?早期視力?數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)和表示?形狀?范圍?運動?匹配和識別?架構(gòu)和語言?視覺系統(tǒng)

The central focus of this journal is the computer analysis of pictorial information. Computer Vision and Image Understanding publishes papers covering all aspects of image analysis from the low-level, iconic processes of early vision to the high-level, symbolic processes of recognition and interpretation. A wide range of topics in the image understanding area is covered, including papers offering insights that differ from predominant views.Research Areas Include:? Theory ? Early vision ? Data structures and representations ? Shape ? Range ? Motion ? Matching and recognition ? Architecture and languages ? Vision systems
