In applications such as airport operations, militarysimulations, and medical simulations, conductingsimulations in accurate and realistic settings that are represented byreal video imaging sequences becomes essential. This paper surveys recent work that enablesvisually realistic model constructions and the simulation of syntheticobjects which are inserted in video sequences, and illustrates how synthetic objects canconduct intelligent behavior within a visual augmented reality.
