Model representations and control structures in image understanding
Takeo Kanade · International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 1977
This paper overviews and discusses model representations and control structures in image understanding. Hierarchies are observed in the levels of description used in image understanding along a few dimensions: processing unit, detail, composition and scene/view distinction . Emphasis is placed on the importance of explicitly handling the hierarchies both in representing and in using it . A scheme of knowledge block representation which is structured along the processing-unit hierarchy is also presented.
