abstract = "Experiments on the use of the creation machine of the syntactic-semantic approach to locate airplanes on aerial photos is presented. The basic concepts and formulations of the syntactic-semantic approach are reviewed. The peculiarity of locating airplanes from aerial photos is discussed. Experimental results are shown. The creation machine is a procedure which can assemble the desired objects-from a chaos of fragments of the desired object and the noise object.",

note = "Funding Information: Linguistic pattern re'cognition techniques have been winning support from the people in the machine intelligence community as an effective means of dealing with picture patterns where the structural contents are rich. The evolution of the linguistic approach has resulted in two distinct techniques, the syntactic method (2'1.'12) and the semantic method. ~1a-16) Each method shows its own merits and its own domain of application. Recently, a syntactic-semantic method which is intended to encompass the merits of both the syntactic and the semantic methods has been proposed.~,. 5) This syntactic-semantic method suggests a new analytical technique, the creation machine, which is not seen in the syntactic or the semantic approach, The object of this paper is to present the experience we gain in experimenting the use of the creation machine to locate airplanes from aerial photos. The basic concepts and formuldtions of the syntactic-semantic approach will be reviewed. The peculiarity of the problem of locating aircraft from aerial photos will be discussed. Experimental results will be presented. The syntactic-semantic approach consists of two parts. The first part is the notation which is employed to describe the desired object. Such a notation has been defined and is called the semantic grammar. A semantic grammar is a context-free grammar augmented with semantic considerations.
