Abstract:
We present both a high-level symbolic model of the human brain,
and a method of using this model to aid in the recognition of
objects from medical images. The model is stored as a
frame based semantic network consisting of three coexisting
graphs (a spatial adjacency graph; a part hierarchy; and an
inheritance graph). We propose a method similar to
assumption-based truth maintenance systems for the
collating and reasoning processes required in the labelling
of input images.
