Preface This book represents a six-year effort of the authors and their doctoral students towards developing technologies and specific systems which can interpret image data with respect to domain knowledge. Although each chapter offers a different aspect or perspective to image interpretation, there is one common theme which underpins our approach. That is, image interpretation processes which reflect how humans apply world knowledge to image data must involve perceptual learning in terms of automated knowledge acquisition (induction) and application (deduction and abduction) as well as feedback and consistency checks
