Abstract

The GESTALT-System is a stratified architecture for challenging computer vision tasks.This contribution focuses on the 3rd and 4th layer of it the grouping and decision layers.As example application building recognition from high resolution SAR-Data is presented.The 3rd layer contains an assessment driven perceptual grouping process with any-time capability and flexible control. Importantgrouping principles such as good continuation and symmetry are utilized.A dynamic programming optimization is used in the final decision and post- processing layer to find closed polygons that describe the outlines of buildings.Further post processing includes polygon editing and consistency enforcement.
