An Evidential Merit Function to Guide Search in a Semantic Network Based Image Analysis System

To analyse aerial images we are using a model based, structural, hierarchical process implemented in the system MOSES. Semantic networks are used as modeling tools. In a three stage scheme, the models are successively refined and for image analysis an automatically generated semantic network, specialized in the analysis of a concrete scene is used.
