Abstract

A prototype model of a knowledge-based image management system (KIMS), consisting of an image processing system and an expert system, was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the automated inspection of a target object from X-ray images. It is shown that if the procedural knowledge and the declarative knowledge are known, rules can be developed which will be used to identify a target object from X-ray images. The authors report results for the various image analysis states of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, understanding, and interpretation in KIMS with particular application to a regional representation scheme
