Abstract
The previous chapter describes methods of extracting boundaries of regions or regions themselves. Each boundary obtained by edge-following or region methods is represented by a sequence of boundary points, or each region is represented by a set of points in the region. Such representation is inadequate for use in high level processing. More abstract descriptions are necessary. This chapter introduces important descriptions of image features and describes how to build such descriptions.
