Abstract

This chapter presents an investigation of the potential for creative and intelligent computing in the domain of machine vision. It addresses such interrelated issues as randomization, dimensionality reduction, incompleteness, heuristics, as well as various representational paradigms. In particular, randomization is shown to underpin creativity, heuristics are shown to serve as the basis for intelligence, and incompleteness implies the need for heuristics in any non trivial machine vision application, among others. Furthermore, the evolution of machine vision is seen to imply the evolution of heuristics. This conclusion follows from the examples supplied herein.
