  • task conversions for integrating human and Machine Perception in a unified task
    Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Hyungtae Lee, Heesung Kwon, Ryan M Robinson, Daniel Donavanik, William D Nothwang, Amar R Marathe
    Abstract:

    The different strategies for feature extraction and synthesis employed by humans and computers are often complementary, hence combining the two into an integrated object recognition system may considerably improve performance over either used in isolation. Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) is one well-established technique that has shown promise integrating human Perception into a Machine Perception system. In this paper, we apply computer vision techniques to image data filtered through human RSVP. We introduce “task conversions” to integrate the two modalities, applying the precise localization capabilities of computer vision with the detection capabilities of RSVP. We employ naive Bayesian fusion and a novel method, dynamic belief fusion (DBF), in a joint scheme as fusion approaches. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that DBF extracts complementary information from both human and Machine sources to improve performance for both target classification and object detection.

  • an efficient bit vector approach to semantics based Machine Perception in resource constrained devices
    International Semantic Web Conference, 2012
    Co-Authors: Cory Henson, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan, Amit P Sheth
    Abstract:

    The primary challenge of Machine Perception is to define efficient computational methods to derive high-level knowledge from low-level sensor observation data. Emerging solutions are using ontologies for expressive representation of concepts in the domain of sensing and Perception, which enable advanced integration and interpretation of heterogeneous sensor data. The computational complexity of OWL, however, seriously limits its applicability and use within resource-constrained environments, such as mobile devices. To overcome this issue, we employ OWL to formally define the inference tasks needed for Machine Perception --- explanation and discrimination --- and then provide efficient algorithms for these tasks, using bit-vector encodings and operations. The applicability of our approach to Machine Perception is evaluated on a smart-phone mobile device, demonstrating dramatic improvements in both efficiency and scale.

  • an ontological approach to focusing attention and enhancing Machine Perception on the web
    Applied Ontology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Cory Henson, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan, Amit P Sheth
    Abstract:

    Today, many sensor networks and their applications employ a brute force approach to collecting and analyzing sensor data. Such an approach often wastes valuable energy and computational resources by unnecessarily tasking sensors and generating observations of minimal use. People, on the other hand, have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to efficiently perceive their environment. One such mechanism includes the use of background knowledge to determine what aspects of the environment to focus our attention. In this paper, we develop an ontology of Perception, IntellegO, that may be used to more efficiently convert observations into Perceptions. IntellegO is derived from cognitive theory, encoded in set-theory, and provides a formal semantics of Machine Perception. We then present an implementation that iteratively and efficiently processes low level, heterogeneous sensor data into knowledge through use of the Perception ontology and domain specific background knowledge. Finally, we evaluate IntellegO by collecting and analyzing observations of weather conditions on the Web, and show significant resource savings in the generation and storage of perceptual knowledge.

  • "A semantics-based approach to Machine Perception" by Cory Andrew Henson, with Prateek Jain as coordinator
    ACM SIGWEB Newsletter, 2014
    Co-Authors: Cory Henson
    Abstract:

    Machine Perception can be formalized using semantic web technologies in order to derive abstractions from sensor data using background knowledge on the Web, and efficiently executed on resource-constrained devices.
