A Summary of Image Understanding Research at the University of Massachusetts.

Abstract

The major focus of our research program revolves around issues of static and dynamic image understanding. Our principle objective in this work is to confront fundamental problems in computer vision in the context of a large scale experimental system for interpretation of complex images. In this report we briefly review the current status of the VISIONS image understanding system, focussing on: the extraction of low-level syntactic descriptions of images, the representation of knowledge in a form suitable for use in the interpretation process, strategies for utilizing modular knowledge sources to link the sensory data to semantic hypotheses, inference mechanisms for integrating ambiguous and partial evidence from multiple sources, and control methodologies for both data-directed and knowledge-directed interpretation processes.
