Introduction to Machine Vision
“The man who knows no foreign language knows
nothing of his mother tongue”
-Johan Wolfang Von Geothe(1749-1932)
German Poet, Playwright and Philosopher
What is Language???
Representing

your understanding
language spoken by people, e.g.
English, Nepali, Spanish, as
opposed to artificial languages,
like C++, Java, etc.
Background
-Understanding????
Process of mapping from input form
into a more useful form….

-Language????

A pair(source language, target
representation) together with a
mapping between elements of each
other
Natural Language Processing
1.What

does the written/spoken sentence
mean?(Natural Language Understanding)
2.What is to be represented and how to express
it in natural language(Natural Language
Generation)
Natural Language Understanding
Raw Speech Signal
Sequence of Word Spoken

Speech Recognition(phonetic)
Structure of Sentence
Syntactic Analysis
Partial Representation of meaning of sentence
Semantic Analysis
Final Representation of meaning of sentence
Pragmatic Analysis
Phonetic Analysis
Input

Analog signal

Frequency
Spectrogram

time
Phonetic Analysis
Constructing words from Phonemes through
frequency spectrogram

Eg. th+i+ng=thing
Phoneme Database is used
Syntactic Analysis
i. Exploits result of Phonetic Analysis
ii. Builds Structural description of Sentence.
iii. Flat input sequence is converted into hierarchical
structure(parsing).
Syntactic Analysis
1. Grammar:
2. Parser:

A declarative Representation
A procedure
Syntactic Analysis
“Krishna ate the apple”
sentence
noun_phrase
proper_noun

verb_phrase

verb

noun_phrase
determiner

“Krishna”

“ate”

“the”

noun
“apple”
Semantic Analysis
Generates

partial meaning/representation from
its syntactic structure
Semantic Analysis
“plant” = industrial plant
“plant” = living organism
Importance of semantics?????
Semantic Analysis
The

sea is at the home for billions
factories and animals
The sea is home to million of plants
and animals
Pragmatic Analysis

Uses context of utterance

Where, by who, to whom, why, when it was said
Intentions: inform, request, promise, criticize, …

Handling Pronouns

“Kusum eats apples. She likes them.”
She=“Kusum”, them=“apples”.
Machine Vision
worldwide industrial quality control and
supervision technology.
Machine Vision
-- Consists of optical sensors, cameras for
detection of faults
-- Being used for industries for last 20 years
Machine Vision
3 Systems
1. Sensing and Digitizing image data
2. Image processing and analyzing
3. Applications
