Structured computer vision. Machine perception through hierarchical computation structures
This book is a collection of papers that survey various parallel processing techniques. It emphasizes practical applications in numerous fields, such as medicine, natural resources monitoring, and industrial production. Chapter 1 discusses parallel/serial architectures as the key design philosophy for machine vision systems. Chapter 2 presents data structures that are essential for machine vision and chapter 3 demonstrates how a picture can be segmented into regions in an effective manner. Chapter 4 is devoted to technical considerations in the design of layered microprocessor networks for vision. In chapter 5 there is a discussion of the issues of (1) visual processing at both global and local levels and (2) the focus of attention in a world model. Chapter 6 analyzes the inherent structure in an image. Chapter 7 describes the design and implementation of a special purpose vision machine that is operational in sweden. In chapter 8 the book concludes with discussions by two acknowledged experts on alternative hierarchical methods for machine vision.
