[This is just over 20% of the very short book it is published in, so rights couldn't be cleared for litteraturkiosken.uib.no. You can either buy a Danish translation of the chapter at litteraturkiosken, or if you Google the author and title you will find a PDF of the whole book in English. The original French version (La machine de vision) was published in 1988.]
