Abstract

A shape-understanding system (SUS) that is able to perform different tasks of shape analysis and recognition, based on the ability of the system to understand different concepts of shape at the different levels of cognition, is proposed. This system is an implementation of a shape-understanding method. The proposed method of shape understanding is based on the concept of possible classes of shapes. Possible classes of shape are based on shape models and are viewed as a hierarchical structure at different levels of description. At each level of description the different aspects of shape such as geometrical properties of shape, perceptual properties of figure, or meaningful properties of visual form are incorporated in the shape model. The shape-understanding system consists of different types of experts that perform different processing and reasoning tasks. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Int Syst 19: 949–978, 2004.
