Computational Structures For Machine Perception
This note discusses the adequacy of current computer architectures to serve as a base for building machine vision systems.
-
Reconstructing Smooth Surfaces From Partial, Noisy Information
We describe a solution for an important special case: the interpolation of surfaces that are locally spherical or cylindrical from initial orientation values and constraints on orientation.

Scene Modeling: A Structural Basis For Image Description
In this paper a structural approach to modeling is argued for that explicitly relates image appearance to the scene characteristics from which it arose.
-
Machine Vision and Robotics: Industrial Requirements
The importance of human vision is a major motivation for the intense interest in and significant research effort devoted to machine vision.
-
Recovering Intrinsic Scene Characteristics From Images
We suggest that an appropriate role of early visual processing is to describe a scene in terms of intrinsic characteristics – such as range, orientation, reflectance, and incident illumination –…

Road Tracking and Anomaly Detection In Aerial Imagery
This report describes a new procedure for tracking road segments and finding potential vehicles in imagery of approximately 1 to 3 feet per pixel ground resolution.

Msys: A System For Reasoning About Scenes
MSYS is a system for reasoning with uncertain information and inexact rules of inference. Its major application, to date, has been to the interpretation of visual features (such as regions)…
-
Representation and Use of Knowledge in Vision
This paper identifies fundamental information-processing principles relevant to representation and use of knowledge in vision and traces limitations of existing programs.
-
Object Recognition in Multisensory Scene Analysis
A perception strategy for recognizing an object on the basis of color and range data is illustrated by finding a desk in an office scene.
-
Stereopsis Error Analysis
The error due to image quantization in stereoscopically evaluated range is analyzed, using a simple camera model and assuming that the image planes of the two cameras are coplanar.

Efficient Calculations on Points and Lines in the Euclidean Plane
This paper illustrates a method by which use of these functions may often be avoided, and presents explicit formulas for four basic calculations involving points and lines in two dimensions.

ISUPPOSEW – A Computer Program That Finds Regions in the Plan Model of a Visual Scene
ISUPPOSEW is designed t o enable a robot to make conjectures, on the basis of its visual information, about elements of its environment that it cannot see.
