Abstract

We present LIVIA, a language for writing application programs for industrial vision systems. LIVIA is a Pascal-like language with specific instructions for vision. The objects are identified by the values of their invariant features. Operations on the objects can be done using the elementary set theory. The recognition of objects in a data base and the selection of any of their features is easily programmed.
