Computer Vision Research and Its Applications to Automated Cartography

摘要

The SRI Image Understanding program is a broad effort spanning the entire range of machine vision research. Three major concerns are: (1) to develop a computational description of the physics and mathematics of the vision process; (2) to develop a knowledge-based framework for interpreting sensed (imaged) data; and (3) to develop a machine-based environment for effective experimentation, demonstration, and evaluation of our theoretical results, as well as providing a vehicle for technology transfer. This final report summarizes progress in these and related areas. (Author)
