Hierarchical Multisensor Image Understanding. Final Report October 1983 - August 1985

摘要

This report describes the research results on Honeywell's Hierarchical Multisensor Image Understanding program. Honeywell is developing a unified framework for the different hierarchical levels of image processing such as segmentation, detection, classification, and identification of outdoor scenes and across different sensor modalities such as millimeter wave, infrared, and visible. Current activities on the project are reviewed under the following headings: (1) A Survey of Multisource Information Fusion Systems; (2) The Role of Structure in Human and Machine Perception; (3) A Knowledge Based Image Segmentation System; (4) The Use of Optical Flow as a Depth Cue in Scene Analysis and (5) Belief Maintenance for A Fuzzy Reasoning System.
