Public Summary Month 10/2012

In September and October 2012, the work was focused on gesture and action recognition. So far, it is based on Description Logics (DLs) which uses a taxonomy about actions, activities and gestures as a knowledge base. Recognition results are inferred directly by providing assertional knowledge which state information about human kinematics and robotic state. Moreover, preliminary linking concepts have been included into the knowledge base in order to allow for incorporation of stochastical methods for action and gesture recognition.
