Abstract

Picture retrieval can be used by a document generation system for the inclusion of ‘photographic’ pictures in the documents generated by the system. An algorithm is described that makes use of a library of pictures, each of which is associated with a set of logical representations to facilitate retrieval. The paper focuses on the problems stemming from the twin notions of pictorial underspecificity and overspecificity.
