Further Progress in Knowledge Representation for Image Understanding
Abstract
Attention is focused on three problems implicitly raised in the October Interim Report: (1) To provide the basis for and HOS specification of the object-views system (OVS) in terms of which the further development of the system might be expressed; (2) To determine the extent to which a square areal coordinate system can really be used as a basis for image understanding; (3) To determine which formal frameworks for knowledge representation might lend themselves to being useful in dealing with the various subclasses of image- derived information that are relevant to the OVS system. Five basic data types are specified in HOS terms, in response to (1), along with some associated operations. Problems in generalizing the modular-vector arithmetic of square coordinate systems beyond the first two levels of aggregates are discussed in connection with (2). Knowledge-representation frameworks that are deemed to be of potential use in the further development of OVS are listed and discussed.
