Abstract
A review of declarative scene modelling techniques is presented in this paper. After a definition of the purpose of declarative modelling, some existing declarative modellers are classified according to the manner to manage imprecision in scene description. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of declarative scene modelling for a really computer aided design and some open research problems in order to improve drawbacks of this modelling technique. Some suggestions for possible future extensions of declarative modelling are also given.
