Picture Interpretation: A Symbolic Approach (Series in Machine Perception and Artificial Intelligence)
Picture Interpretation A Symbolic Approach - Series in Machine Perception and Artificial Intelligence Author:Sandy Dance, Terry Caelli, Zhi-Qiang Liu Traditional methods for image scene interpretation and understanding are based mainly on such single-threaded procedural paradigms as hypothesize-and-test or syntactic parsing. As a result, these systems are unable to carry out tasks that require concurrent hypothesis testing. This text explores a method for symbolically interpreting images base... more »d upon a parallel implementation of a network-of-frames suggested, for example, by Minsky (1975), to describe intelligent processing. The system has been implemented in an object-oriented environment in the logic programming language Parlog++ and includes the propagation of uncertainty through each frame (object) using Baldwin's (1986) formulation. The system is tested with several scenarios of increasing complexity, culminating with legal interpretation of traffic intersection images.« less
