M-ODEL-BASED OBJECT REC 0 GNITIO N: A TRUTH MAINTENANCE APPROACH
Gregory M. Provan · 1988
We describe the Visual Constraint Recogni- tion System (VICTORS), which uses a truth maintenance approach to model-based vision. By incorporating an .4ssumption-based TMS (ATMS), VICTORS can identify all occurrences of a given figure within a scene of randomly overlapping rectangles, subject to variable figure geometry, input data from multiple sources (e.g. stereo data) and incomplete figures. VICTORS thus has many advantages over existing model-based vision systems, and shows the power of using ATMSs for detecting multiple figures within this domain. It also demonstrates ways in which the ATMS can be improved to increase its range of applicability.
