Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss design considerations in the choice of mechanisms when a flexible query system dealing with visual scenes is being constructed. More concretely, the issues are:
-
Flexibility in adding new information to the knowledge base
-
Power of inferencing
-
Avoiding unnecessary generation of hypotheses where a great deal of image processing has to be perfected in order to test them
-
Automatic generation of recognition strategies.
