We examine the possible use of description logics (DLs) as a knowledge representation and reasoning system for high-level scene interpretation. It is shown that so-called aggregates composed of multiple parts and constrained primarily by temporal and spatial relations can be used to represent high-level concepts such as object configurations, occurrences, events, and episodes that are required ...

A scene analysis system for the 3–D modeling of objects is presented. It combines surface reconstruction techniques with object recognition for the generation of 3–D models for computer graphic applications. The system permits the insertion of highlevel constraints, like a specific angle between two house walls, in an explicit knowledge base implemented as a semantic net. The applicability of t...

Journal of Futures Studies, September 2011, 16(1): 137 150 Another language will perhaps one day help us to say better what still remains to be said about [the] metonymic figures of the unconditional. (Derrida, 2005, p.148) The encounter between different levels of Reality and different levels of perception engenders different levels of representation. Images corresponding to a certain level of...

Given the difficulties In obtaining up-to-date infonnation, I frequently resort to the Ideas, research results , and unpublished works of a number of colleagues, though it is not always possible to cite these sources adequately. I would like to acknowledge collecllvely my colleagues at the Centro Brasilel ro de Anc1;lIse e Planejamento (CEBRAP) and Nucleo de Esludos de Polfticas PlJblicasCampln...

Virtual reality technology has the realistic significance in the applied research of the garment field. In this paper, we present the central application fields for cloth simulation. Furthermore, describe the method for design and implementation the 3D Qipao Display System. This System can fully demonstrate the characteristics of patterns of the classic Qipao. In contrast with the traditional d...

In this paper we describe an approach for integrating abduction and induction in the ILP setting of learning from interpretations with the aim of solving the problem of incomplete information both in the background knowledge and in the interpretations. The approach is inspired by the techniques developed in the learning from entailment setting for performing induction from an incomplete backgro...
