# Structured Descriptions of Complex Objects

Ramakant Nevatia, Thomas O. Binford

*Proceedings of the Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 641-646.

## Abstract

Experimental techniques are demonstrated which generate segmented symbolic descriptions for comple x objects with joints, such as a hammer or a glove. Complete descriptions with relationship of parts at joints and descriptions of joints are presented. These techniques are elements of a larger scheme for description mechanisms for hypotheses, and for visual memory and recognition. Index Words: Sha pe, complex objects, curved objects, recognition, perce p tion, scene analysis, part / whole segmentation, joints.
