Computations are both data-driven and query-driven . In the report we focus on the design of the vision and control modules. Future work will investigate in more detail the design of the natural language interface. The data-driven system employs active control of stereo camcras for image acquisition, and dynamically constructs a surface model from multiple aerial views of an urban scene. The query-driven system allows the user's natural l:m guage queries to focus analysis to pertincnt regions of the scene. This is different than many image understanding systems which present a symbolic description of the entire scene regardless of what portions of that picture are actually of interest.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/185","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0185.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/185.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/185","volume":{"slug":"1985","title":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1985","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/","year":1985,"location":"Los Angeles, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Aravind Joshi","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Perception","track":"Perception","number":185,"pages":{"first":919,"last":920},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
