Towards Perception-Oriented Situation Awareness Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 322))

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach for identifying situations from sensor data by using a perception-based mechanism that has been borrowed from humans: sensation, perception and cognition. The proposed approach is based on two phases: low-level perception and high-level perception. The first one is realized by means of semantic technologies and allows to generate more abstract information from raw sensor data by also considering knowledge about the environment. The second one is realized by means of Fuzzy Formal Concept Analysis and allows to organize and classify abstract information, coming from the first phase, by generating a knowledge representation structure, namely lattice, that can be traversed to obtain information about occurring situation and augment human perception. The work proposes also a sample scenario executed in the context of an early experimentation.
