Abstract

With a constructive knowledge-based theory of perception as its foundation, this paperstarts with a review and critique of some artificial-intelligence programs that purport to see. It isthen argued that these computer programs for scene analysis offer the hope of providing a moreadequate account of human competence in interpreting line drawings as polyhedra than do thecurrent psychological theories. This thesis has several aspects. The one emphasized here is thatthose programs have explored a variety of methods of incorporating a priori knowledge of objectsthrough the use of models. After outlining the range of models used, presenting a set of criteriafor evaluating the use of model information, and sketching some psychological theories, the variousproposals are contrasted. This discussion leads to two new proposals for exploiting modelinformation that involve elaborations of an existing program, POLY.
