Interactive Aids for Cartography and Photo Interpretation

Abstract

This report describes the status of the SRI Image Understanding project at the end of twelve months. The central scientific goal of the research program is to investigate and develop ways in which diverse sources of knowledge may be brought to bear on the problem of interpreting images. The research is focused on the specific problems entailed in interpreting aerial photographs for cartographic or intelligence purposes. A key concept is the use of a generalized digital map to guide the process of image interpretation.
