SUMMARYThe concepts of entity-relationship diagram have been applied to picture description. Primitive picture entities, picture relationships, and picture grammars are presented with illustrative examples. A high-level description of a two-level picture generation system is proposed using either string description or ER diagram description. Illustrative examples are also given. The advantages of ER diagram description together with its comparison to string description are also presented. The results may have useful applications in robotics, artificial intelligence, expert systems, picture processing, pattern recognition, knowledge engineering and pictorial database design.
