Abstract

For an adequate interpretation of image sequences it is not only necessary to recognize objects and object positions but also certain interesting temporal developments of the scene, called events. In this paper we discuss event models for traffic scenes as high-level conceptual structures which permit interfacing to an existing natural language dialogue system. Event models are declarative descriptions of classes of events organized around verbs of locomotion. They involve components which are directly related to the deep case structure of a corresponding natural language description. Event models may be used for bottom-up scene description as well as top-down question-answering. They may also incorporate expectations about a scene, thus providing an interface to experience and common sense.
