Abstract

Above I have focused on the treatment of intrinsic image features. In the process, I have also noted that aspects of their categorization such as ambiguity and of their control such as threshold values are associated with extrinsic features. In fact, the representational function of pictures is determined by the accuracy of their extrinsic content. This is the dual problem of content development and content coordination.
