Towards Ontology Based Cognitive Vision


LES AUTEURS Nicolas MAILLOT et Monique THONNAT

RESUME:

This paper details a visual concept ontology driven knowledge acquisition methodology.
We propose to use a visual concept ontology to guide experts in the visual description of the objects
of their domain (e.g. pollen grain).

The proposed knowledge acquisition process results in a knowledge base which can be used by a knowledge based vision system.
An important benefit of our approach is that the knowledge acquisition process guided
by the ontology leads to a knowledge base close to low-level vision.

A visual concept ontology and a dedicated knowledge acquisition tool have been developed and are presented.
We propose a generic methodology that is not linked to any application domain.
An example shows how the knowledge acquisition model can be applied to the description of pollen grain images.
