The invention features a method wherein a recognition environment utilizers pseudo-English as a programming language to extract simple and complex objects with image—and/or map—data as inputs. Based on this human/computer interface in which pseudo-English is a programming language, the object—recognition system has three major logic modules: (1) an input data module; (2) an information—processing module, coupled with the above—noted human computer interface (HCI) module; and (3) an output module that has a feedback mechanism back to the main information—processing and the input—data module. A physical phenomenon (i.e., one that is visible, audible, tactile, etc.) Is analyzed by the information—processing module to determine weather it is susceptible to description or articulation. If not, the phenomenon is matched or compared, via the output module, to a know articulatable, physical-phenomenon model and recognizable features are extracted.
A method of training a user to become an expert in identifying an object in an image, by querying a computer system comprising a lexicon of photo-interpreters, and formulating object extraction rules, the steps comprising:
A method of processing data to identify an object in an image, by querying a computer system comprising a lexicon of photo-interpreters, and formulating object extraction rules, comprising executing a computer program comprising (i) information supplied by at least one expert photo analyst, (ii) extraction rules that are dependent upon said information, and (iii) information input by a user, said computer program comprising a predetermined vocabulary for facilitating descriptions of objects to be identified.
A method of training a user to become an expert in identifying an observed object in an image, by querying a computer system comprising a lexicon of photo-interpreters, and formulating object extraction rules, the steps comprising:
A method of training a user to become an expert in performing a task in a predetermined subject, by querying a computer system comprising a lexicon of words and phrases, and formulating rules, the steps comprising:
