Abstract
In this chapter we will try to give insight into some historical and intellectual developments in the analysis of scenes by computer. To do this we will study the approaches taken in some important scene analysis programs. We use the word “scene” variously to mean an arrangement of things in space, their representation as input (e.g., a black and white picture or a line drawing), and their representation as partially interpreted inside a computer.
