Abstract
Abstract. We propose a method for detecting geometric structures in an image, without any a priori information. Roughly speaking, we say that an observed geometric event is “meaningful ” if the expectation of its occurences would be very small in a random image. We discuss the apories of this definition, solve several of them by introducing “maximal meaningful events ” and analyzing their structure. This methodology is applied to the detection of alignments in images.
