Abstract

The discussion of Chapter 2 presented several principles for generic object detection and delineation. In particular, Principle 2 advocated the use of primitive volumetric forms as building blocks for complex object models. The idea behind such a strategy is that these simple primitive forms can be readily extracted from image data, while still maintaining expressive power by combination into complex shapes. This approach raises two natural questions:

  • What primitives will be used?

  • What constraints and features can be used to reliably extract them?
