Hierarchies are observed in the levels of description used in image understanding along a few dimensions: processing unit, detail, composition and scene/view distinction. Emphasis is placed on the importance of explicitly handling the hierarchies both in representing knowledge and in using it. A scheme of \"knowledge block\" representation which is structured along the processing-unit hierarchy is a lso presented.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/236","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/0236.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/236.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/bibtex/236","volume":{"slug":"1977","title":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1977","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/","year":1977,"location":"Cambridge, MA, USA","dates":"","editors":"Raj Reddy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Invited Panel","track":"Invited Panel","number":236,"pages":{"first":1074,"last":1081},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
