An Associative Perception-Action Structure Using a Localized Space Variant Information Representation

Abstract. Most of the processing in vision today uses spatially invariant operations. This gives efficient and compact computing structures, with the conventional convenient separation between data and operations. This also goes well with conventional Cartesian representation of data. Currently, there is a trend towards context dependent processing in various forms. This implies that operations will no longer be spatially invariant, but vary over the image dependent upon the image content. There are many ways in which such a contextual control can be implemented. Mechanisms can be added for the modification of operator behavior within the conventional computing structure. This has been done e.g. for the implementation of adaptive filtering. In order to obtain sufficient flexibilility and power in the computing structure, it is necessary to go further than that. To achieve sufficiently good adaptivity, it is necessary to ensure that sufficiently complex control strategies can be repr...
