COGVISYS - Cognitive Vision Systems

The central goal is to build a vision system that can be used in a wider variety of fields and that is re-usable by introducing self-adaptation at the level of perception, by providing categorisation capabilities, and by making explicit the knowledge base at the level of reasoning, and thereby enabling the knowledge base to be changed. In order to make these ideas concrete CogViSys aims at developing a virtual commentator which is able to translate visual information into a textual description. This is the unifying theme of the project. In order to build this virtual commentator, several conceptual subgoals have to be achieved: It is crucial that the more cognitive processes can start from a firm basis. Hence, some effort will go into state-of-the-art cue integration. Rather than recognising particular textures, objects, motions, CogViSys aims at recognising instantiations of classes thereof, hence a key goal is to make important progress in the area of categorisation. Approaches will be developed to express and use knowledge about the interpretation of scenes explicitly.
