We propose a novel metaphor interpretation method, Meta4meaning. It provides interpretations for nominal metaphors by generating a list of properties that the metaphor expresses. Meta4meaning uses word associations extracted from a corpus to retrieve an approximation to properties of concepts. Interpretations are then obtained as an aggregation or difference of the saliences of the properties t...

This paper presents a new scenario recognition algorithm for Video Interpretation. We represent a scenario model by specifying the characters involved in the scenario, the sub-scenarios composing the scenario and the constraints combining the sub-scenarios. Various types of constraints can be used including spatio-temporal and logical constraints. In this paper, we focus on the performance of t...

In this paper we propose a high level approach to capture the behaviour of an autonomous robotic or embedded system. Using requirements engineering, we construct models of the behaviour where system activities are captured mainly by collaborating state machines while the domain knowledge is captured by a non-monotonic logic. We explain our infrastructure that enables interpretation, simulation,...

The paper presents our work on the automatic reconstruction of complete LOD3 building models. Existing LOD2 models are refined by adding 3D façade geometry with explicit semantic information to the planar facades. Aiming at robust and realistic façade structures, independent of the quality and availabilty of sensor data, object knowledge in the form of a grammar is automatically inferred and ap...

interpretation is a theory of abstraction and constructive approximation of the mathematical structures used in the formal description of programming languages and the inference or verification of undecidable program properties. Developed in the late seventies with Radhia Cousot, it has since then been considerably applied to many aspects of programming, from syntax, to semantics, and proof met...

Abstract Forensic speaker recognition (FSR) is the process of determining if a specific individual (suspected speaker) is the source of a questioned voice recording (trace). The forensic expert’s role is to testify to the worth of the voice evidence by using, if possible, a quantitative measure of this worth. It is up to the judge and/ or the jury to use this information as an aid to their deli...

Orientation flow field is the starting point for feature extraction in various fingerprint algorithms. In recent papers, Jain and his colleagues (Ratha et al., 1995, Karu and Jain, 1995, Ratha et al. 1996) introduced a fundamentally new algorithm. Their main motivation for the algorithm has been to work at the problems from a fingerprint matching point of view. Our aim in contrast has been feat...

The paper presents an algorithm for the automatic segmentation of point clouds from low cost sensors for object interpretation in indoor environments. This algorithm is considering the possible noisy character of the 3D point clouds and is using an iterative RANSAC approach for the segmentation task. For evaluating the robustness, it is applied on two indoor datasets, acquired with the Google T...
