Multi-Sensor Scene Synthesis and Analysis
Abstract
This technical report contains a detailed analysis of digital computer image analysis and scene synthesis algorithms and techniques in order to provide the basis for the design of an Image Assembly System capable of functioning as a flexible research aid for both areas. A survey of common image and scene analysis algorithms is presented which includes image enhancement techniques as well as modern scene segmentation and object location techniques. Special emphasis is given to image representation models using relational tables and data structures for image analysis. A survey of important scene synthesis algorithms is given which includes three dimensional scene representation, hidden surface elimination, and surface shading techniques. The requirements in terms of hardware and software for separate analysis and synthesis systems are presented. Using the previous survey of algorithms and system requirements as a basis, a performance specification for the Image Assembly is defined. An example system consisting of available hardware elements is presented to demonstrate the practicality of the performance specification.
