SHAPE UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM: THE VISUAL REASONING PROCESS

摘要

In this paper the visual reasoning that is part of visual thinking capabilities of the shape understanding system (SUS) is investigated. This research is a continuation of the authors' previous work focused on investigating understanding capabilities of the intelligent systems based on the shape understanding system. SUS is an example of the visual understanding system, where sensory information is transformed into the multilevel representation in the concept formation process that is part of the visual thinking capabilities. The visual reasoning involves transformation of the description of the object when passing consequent stages of the reasoning process and the reasoning and processing of the data are mutually dependent.
