Abstract:

In this paper, we describe a new kind of image representation in terms of local multi--modal Primitives. Our local Primitives can be characterized by three properties: (1) They represent different aspects of the image in terms of multiple visual modalities. (2) They are adaptable according to context. (3) They provide a condensed representation of local image structure. These three properties make them especially useful as a first stage of visual scene analysis. Our Primitives initialize a process of contextual integration that disambiguated locally ambiguous information in an artificial visual system.
