Picture Recognition and Scene Analysis.

Abstract

This paper reviews some of the milestones in the development of techniques for the computer analysis of pictures and scenes. Topics covered include preprocessing (noise cleaning, deblurring, filtering); segmentation (region growing, decomposition of regions into parts, grouping of regions into 'objects'); property measurement (invariant properties, textural properties); shape analysis (local shape features, boundary and skeleton representations); and structural analysis (syntactic analysis, model matching). The emphasis is on describing representative ideas that are of historical importance, rather than on giving a systematic treatment of the subject.
