“Image Understanding and Image Processing Research Semiannual Technical Report”
by Ramakant Nevatia and Alexander A. Sawchuk
September 30, 1979
This technical report summarizes the image understanding and smart sensor research activities performed by the USC Image Processing Institute during the period of 1 April 1979 through 30 September 1979 under contract number F-33615-76-C-1203 with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Information Processing Techniques Office, and monitored by the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.
The research program has, as its primary purpose, the development of techniques and systems for understanding images. Methodologies range from low level image processing principles, smart sensor CCD LSI circuit design, up to higher level symbolic representations and relational structure manipulations.
