Abstract: Groups of form features can be, e.g., the properties of a picture object. By adding other form features exhibiting similarity with existing group form features, these groups of form features can be completed using a control with selectable threshold values and using additional information, in turn according to modified circumstances of the object. This enables a class of objects which are to be recognized to be represented in an approximative manner. The model thus produced can be used in a first step (A) for an optical partial recognition. In a second step (B), the features of the object recognized by the partial recognition can lead to enlargement and completion of the model. It is thereby no longer necessary for a specialist to have interactive control of the recognition system, and models exhibiting a high degree of representativity can be produced.

Abstract: A selection device for setting the driving speed of a vehicle is provided having an operating element, a control device, which is connected with the operating element and coupled with an engine control and which is designed so that, upon activation of the control, the vehicle speed will be regulated automatically, whereby at least two vehicle speed values can be marked on a display. These values can be initiated by using the operating element. In addition to the vehicle speed values, a pointer is indicated on the display. The pointer can be moved by using the operating element. In a programming operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds or the vehicle speeds to be set can be set and erased by use of the pointer. In a driving speed control operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds can be activated by the use of the pointer.
