Image Understanding Research

Abstract

This technical report summarizes the image understanding, smart sensor, and image processing research activities performed by the Image Processing Institute at the University of Southern California during the period of 1 April 1977 through 30 September 1977 under Contract Number F-33615-76-C- 1203 with the Advanced Research Projects Agency Information Processing Techniques Office. The research program has as its primary purpose, the development of techniques and systems for understanding images. Five tasks are reported: Image Understanding Projects, Image Processing Projects, Smart Sensor Projects, Recent Ph. D. Dissertations, and Recent Institute Personnel Publications. The image understanding tasks reported on include comparison of region growing versus boundary delineated segmentation, analytic results on the clustering segmentor, development of feature extractors for edge detection, circle detection, line detection, and texture detection and higher level image understanding for an interactive user system as well as a system for sharing information between existing image understanding programs.
