Abstract
We consider a computational strategy for shape recognition based on choosing "tests" one at a time in order to remove as much uncertainty as possible about the true hypothesis. The approach is compared with other recognition paradigms in computer vision and illustrated by attempting to classify handwritten digits and track roads from satellite images.
