AUTOMATIZATION IN THE DESIGN OF IMAGE UNDERSTANDING SYSTEMS

To understand the meaning of an image or image sequence, to reduce the effort in the design process and increase the reliability and the reusability of image understanding systems, a wide spectrum of AI techniques is applied. Solving an image understanding problem corresponds to specifying an image understanding system which implements the solution to the given problem. We describe an image understanding tool box which supports the design of such systems. The tool-box includes help and tutor modules, an interactive user interface, interfaces to common procedural and AI languages, and an automatic configuration module.
