Scene analysis using region-based constraint filtering

摘要

A general-purpose scene-analysis system is described which uses constraint-filtering techniques to apply domain knowledge in the interpretation of the regions extracted from a segmented image. An example is given of the configuration of the system for a particular domain, FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) images, as well as results of the system's performance on some typical images from this domain. A number of improvements to these techniques are proposed.
