%0 Report %@ 233 %A Fischler, Martin A. %T Computational Structures For Machine Perception %C 333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025 %I AI Center, SRI International %D 1981 %K Machine Perception, Computer Architecture, Machine Vision %X This note discusses the adequacy of current computer architectures to serve as a base for building machine vision systems. Arguments are presented to show that perceptual problems cannot be completely formalized and dealt with in a closed abstract system. The conclusion is that the digital computer, organized as a general-purpose symbol processor, cannot serve as an adequate instrument for achieving a human-like visual capability. %O This note is a summary of a talk given at the La Jolla Institute Workshop on Research Requirements for Advanced Computer Design (August 5-6, 1980). The purpose of this workshop was to identify important technical areas where radically new computer architectures might be necessary for future progress. %U http://www.ai.sri.com/pubs/files/696.pdf
