Abstract

Predictions are presented for the possible outcome of surveys of the galaxy counts, confusion limits, and contributions to the background radiation in some relevant NIR and mid-IR bands. Predictions were made on the basis of up-to-date models for chemical and photometric evolution of early-type and late-type galaxies, taking into account the luminosity evolution of Seyfert nuclei. It is shown that the models provide a good fit to the recent deep counts in the K band.
