It attempts to supply primitives for higher-level processes of interpretation. A multithreshold approach has already given acceptable results. This paper presents a Prolog implementation of a multithreshold system. The algorithms implemented concern image representation, connected regions, identification, and contour detection. The improvement of algorithms in a logic language rather than in a procedural one appeared to be of particular interest. The main reasons for this are implementation facility and the natural use of logic programming in the field of knowledge-based systems. In fact, a knowledge-based approach seems a reasonable solution to problems of assisted image understanding processes.}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0024019798\&partnerID=40\&md5=bbf1d6d0aad82eee5540c0841df3bfad}, author = {Palareti, Aldopaolo and Paolo Puliti and Guido Tascini and Primo Zingaretti} }
