Abstract
Scene constraint was defined as the first sub-system component in the generic model of a machine vision system presented in figure 1.2. It is a key area in the application of systems engineering principles to the solution of machine vision problems. The designer of machine vision systems should have two principal aims when manipulating scene constraints;
-
To maximise the use of prior knowledge of the scene, i.e. by exploiting existing knowledge
-
To trivialise the problem of image analysis as far as possible, i.e. by effective imposition of constraints.
