Image Understanding and Information Extraction

摘要

This report summarizes the results of the research program on Image Understanding and Information Extraction at Purdue University. The report covers the period 1 April 1977 to 30 September 1977. The objective of our research is to achieve a better understanding of image structure and to use this knowledge to develop techniques for image analysis and processing tasks, especially information extraction. Our emphasis is on syntactic decomposition and recognition of imagery based on scene analysis. It is our expectation that this research will form a basis for the development of technology relevant to military applications of machine extraction of information from aircraft and satellite imagery.
