Abstract

The central task for computer vision is to extract a description of the world based on images. An important element of a description is the assertion that a specific individual object has been previously observed or that an object is similar to a set of objects seen in the past. This process of recognition, literally to RE- cognize, permits an aggregation of experience and the evolution of relationships between objects based on a series of observations.
