Panel Summary Looking For Visual Primitives

Abstract

Visual primitives can be considered as abstractions of those informative subsets of an image which are of interest in a given vision task. After discussing their nature and some problems related to their extraction, pattern description in terms of primitives is considered. Eventually, models relating 3-D visual primitives in high level vision are discussed.
