Abstract:

This report summarizes progress in image understanding research at the 
University of Massachusetts over the past year. Many of the individual 
efforts discussed in this paper are further developed in other papers in 
this proceedings. The summary is organized into several areas:
	1. Image Exploitation under RADIUS
	2. Learning in Vision
	3. Mobile Vehicle Navigation
	4. Recovering 3D Structure
	5. The Image Understanding Architecture
The research program in computer vision at UMass has as one of its 
goals the integration of a diverse set of research efforts into a system 
that is ultimately intended to achieve real-time image interpretation in a 
variety of vision applications.
