Titel
Incremental natural language description of dynamic imagery
Abstract
Although image understanding and natural language processing constitute two major areas of Al, they have mostly been studied independently of each other. Only a few attempts have been concerned with the integration of computer vision and the generation of natural language expressions for the description of image sequences. The aim of our joint efforts at combining a vision system and a natural language access system is the automatic simultaneous description of dynamic imagery, i.e., we are interested in image interpretation and language processing on an incremental basis. In this contribution we sketch an approach towards the integration of the Karlsruhe vision system called ACTIONS and the natural language component VITRA developed in Saarbrücken. The steps toward realization, based on available components, are outlined and the capabilities of the current system are demonstrated.
