Model Representations and Control Structures in Image Understanding

This paper overviews and discusses model representations and control structures in image understanding. Hierarchies are observed in the levels of description used in image understanding along a few dimensions: processing unit, detail, composition and scene/view distinction . Emphasis is placed on the importance of explicitly handling the hierarchies both in representing knowledge and in using it . A scheme of "knowledge block" representation which is structured along the processing-unit hierarchy is also presented.
