Abstract

This paper summarizes the present state of research in scene analysis. It identifies fundamental information-processing principles relevant to representation and use of knowledge in vision and traces limitations of existing programs to compromises of these principles necessitated by extant processors. Some specific and general recommendations are offered regarding a productive course of research for the next decade.
