## Abstract

Biederman's introduction of geons to the vision community [BIE8.5] has spawned considerable interest in building geon-based vision systems. However, numerous issues must be addressed before such systems can make a practical contribution to machine vision . This paper collects together a number of distinguished researchers, each of whom has worked with geonbased recognition, in an effort to identify and discuss these issues.
