  6. 4. Studies in Semantic Modeling of Real-World Objects using Perceptual Anchoring

    Author : Andreas Persson; Amy Loutfi; Alessandro Saffiotti; Severin Lemaignan; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perceptual Anchoring; Semantic World Modeling; Sensor-Driven Acquisition of Data; Object Recognition; Object Classification; Symbol Grounding; Probabilistic Object Tracking;

    Abstract : Autonomous agents, situated in real-world scenarios, need to maintain consonance between the perceived world (through sensory capabilities) and their internal representation of the world in the form of symbolic knowledge. An approach for modeling such representations of objects is through the concept of perceptual anchoring, which, by definition, handles the problem of creating and maintaining, in time and space, the correspondence between symbols and sensor data that refer to the same physical object in the external world.
