Research on Symbolic Inference in Computational Vision

This paper provides an overview of ongoing research in the GRASP laboratory which focuses on the general problem of symbolic inference in computational vision. In this report we describe a conceptual framework for this research, and describe our current research programs in the component areas which support this work.
