ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus (62) for processing images in symbolic space are disclosed. The method may include the steps of capturing a visual image (40), converting the visual image to a digital image (42), decomposing the digital image into image primitives (44), and processing the image primitives in symbolic space (46). The processing of the image primitives may include grouping the image primitives to form higher level image primitives, isolating portions of an image, filtering noise, identifying portions of an image, or adding to a knowledge base. The system or apparatus (62)for processing an image in symbolic space may include a camera (64), a video-to-digital converter (66), and a computer (68) with appropriate memory and software; the processing may include grouping the image primitives to form higher level image primitives, isolating portions of an image, filtering noise, identifying portions of an image, or adding to a knowledge base.
