The scale space aspect graph

Currently the aspect graph is computed under the assumption of perfect resolution in the viewpoint, the projected image, and the object shape. Visual detail is represented that an observer might never see in practice. By introducing scale into this framework, a mechanism is provided for selecting levels of detail that are large enough to merit explicit representation, effectively allowing control over the size of the aspect graph. To this end the scale space aspect graph is introduced, and an interpretation of the scale dimension in terms of the spatial extent of image features is considered. A brief example is given for polygons in a plane.<>
