Picture Processing by Computer AZRIELROSENFELD University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland Techniques for processing pictorial information by computer are surveyed. The topics covered include efficient encoding and approximation; position-invariant operations and applications; picture properties useful for pattern recognition; picture segmentation and geometrical properties of picture subsets; picture descrlptmn and "picture languages." Key words and phrases: pmture processing, image processing, pattern recognition, bandwidth compression, efficient encoding, approximation, position-invariant operation, parallel computers, optical computers, matched filtering, template matching, spatml filtering, image restoration, image enhancement, picture properties, segmentation, geometrical pro perties, picture description, picture languages CR categories" 3 63 INTRODUCTION As a further restriction, we will be concerned only with pictures as two-dimenOver the past 15 years, much effort has swnal objects; this excludes pictorial repbeen devoted to developing methods of resentation of three spatial dimensions processing pictorial information by com- (stereopairs, contour maps, the hidden puter.
