Abstract

Scene interpretation systems are often conceived as extensions of low-level image analysis with bottom-up processing for high-level interpretations. In this contribution we show how a generic high-level interpretation system can generate hypotheses and initiate feedback in terms of top-down controlled low-level image analysis. Experimental results are reported about the recognition of structures in building facades.
