@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13360, title = {A Bionic Approach to Dynamic, Multimodal Scene Perception and Interpretation in Buildings}, author = {Rosemarie Velik and Dietmar Bruckner}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Today, building automation is advancing from simple monitoring and control tasks of lightning and heating towards more and more complex applications that require a dynamic perception and interpretation of different scenes occurring in a building. Current approaches cannot handle these newly upcoming demands. In this article, a bionically inspired approach for multimodal, dynamic scene perception and interpretation is presented, which is based on neuroscientific and neuro-psychological research findings about the perceptual system of the human brain. This approach bases on data from diverse sensory modalities being processed in a so-called neuro-symbolic network. With its parallel structure and with its basic elements being information processing and storing units at the same time, a very efficient method for scene perception is provided overcoming the problems and bottlenecks of classical dynamic scene interpretation systems.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, year = {2009}, pages = {1096 - 1104}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13360}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/28}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 28, 2009}, }
