Abstract

The VISIONS schema system provides a framework for building a general interpretation system as a distributed network of many small special-purpose interpretation systems. Each scheme is an `expert´ at recognizing one type of object. A discussion is presented of the problems of knowledge representation in a distributed A1 environments and the scheme system approach to those problems. A series of interpretation experiments have been performed on nine images from two natural scene domains; results from three images are presented
