pp. 131-144
in: Virginio Cantoni (ed), Human and machine vision, Berlin, Springer, 1994Abstract
Visual primitives can be considered as abstractions of those informative subsets of an image which are of interest in a given vision task. After discussing their nature and some problems related to their extraction, pattern description in terms of primitives is considered. Eventually, models relating 3-D visual primitives in high level vision are discussed.
