  Creating engaging narratives from visual data is crucial for automated
digital media consumption, assistive technologies, and interactive
entertainment. This survey covers methodologies used in the generation of these
narratives, focusing on their principles, strengths, and limitations.
  The survey also covers tasks related to automatic story generation, such as
image and video captioning, and visual question answering, as well as story
generation without visual inputs. These tasks share common challenges with
visual story generation and have served as inspiration for the techniques used
in the field. We analyze the main datasets and evaluation metrics, providing a
critical perspective on their limitations.
