Simulation of process of forming the language for description and analysis of the forms of images

Abstract

The theme of this paper is a linguistic approach to the problem of pictorial pattern recognition. Instead of the vocabulary of primitives and grammar being selected by the designer, this new pattern-recognition system is able to make a new description, give the vocabulary, and construct the grammar. The vocabulary consists in two kinds of words, “forms” of characteristic fragments of pictorial patterns (images) and “locations” of these fragments. The enumeration of the forms and locations describes a pattern. The general scheme of the process of forming the language, the ways of extracting the characteristic fragments, the vectors (sentences) connecting “forms” and “location”, and the algorithms for constructing and comparing the image descriptions are described. Simulation of forming a description language and analysis of various forms are presented.
