Understanding Scene Descriptions as Event Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
The language of scene descriptions 2 must allow a hearer to build structures of schemas similar (to some level of detail) to those the speaker has built via perceptual processes. The understanding process in general requires a hearer to create and run "event ~ " to check the consistency and plausibility of a "picture" constructed from a speaker's description. A speaker must also run similar event simulations on his own descriptions in order to be able to judge when the hearer has been given sufficient information to construct an appropriate "picture", and to be able to respond appropriately to the heater's questions about or responses to the scene description.

Traffic Scene Analysis using Hierarchical Sparse Topical Coding
Analyzing motion patterns in traffic videos can be exploited directly to generate high-level descriptions of the video contents. Such descriptions may further be employed in different traffic applications such as traffic phase detection and abnormal event detection. One of the most recent and successful unsupervised methods for complex traffic scene analysis is based on topic models. In this pa...
متن کاملBehavioural descriptions from image sequences
This paper reviews research that addresses the problems of extracting descriptions of object behaviour from image sequences. Vision systems are now capable of delivering trajectory-based descriptions of moving objects in a scene but little work has been done on the higher-level spatio-temporal reasoning needed for the computation of behavioural descriptions. This level of understanding, which a...
متن کاملAnalogical Representation of Spatial Events for Understanding Traffic Behaviour
In computer vision the usual level of \in-terpretation" is the identiication of the objects in the image. In this paper, we extend the level of interpretation to include spatial event detection using a knowledge base for a known scene. This will allow us to formulate a computational theory for forming conceptual descriptions about the behaviours of the objects. Here we describe an analogical re...
متن کاملGrammatical aspect and temporal distance in motion descriptions
Grammatical aspect is known to shape event understanding. However, little is known about how it interacts with other important temporal information, such as recent and distant past. The current work uses computer-mouse tracking (Spivey et al., 2005) to explore the interaction of aspect and temporal context. Participants in our experiment listened to past motion event descriptions that varied ac...
