Abstract

This paper presents a language which specifies moving scenes by hooking up primitives of shapes in a manner similar to Narasimhan. Motion is achieved in two distinct ways- by hooking up these shapes at a specific rate, and by creating moving primitive shapes. The language can be used both for generating and for recognizing classes of time-varying pictures.
