History

edit

This journal has gone through multiple names.[2] Founded in 1972 as Computer Graphics and Image Processing[3] by Azriel Rosenfeld, it became the first journal to focus on computer image analysis.[4][5] Its first change of name came in 1983, when it became Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing.[6] In 1991, it split into two journals, CVGIP: Graphical Models and Image Processing,[7] and CVGIP: Image Understanding, which later became Computer Vision and Image Understanding.[8] Meanwhile, in 1995, the journal Graphical Models and Image Processing removed the "CVGIP" prefix from its former name,[9] and finally took its current title, Graphical Models, in 2002.[10]

Ranking

edit

Although initially ranked by SCImago Journal Rank as a top-quartile journal in 1999 in its main topic areas, computer graphics and computer-aided design, and then for many years ranked as second-quartile, by 2020 it had fallen to the third quartile.[11]
