SITUATION UNDERSTANDING Sample Clauses

SITUATION UNDERSTANDING. Human operators in current multi-AUV systems contribute not only their maneuvering and recogni- tion skills, but also their high-level cognitive abilities for understanding the situation in the environ- ment the AUVs operate in. Since the main objective of the NOPTILUS project is to offer a fully- autonomous multi-AUV system, it is important to develop methods and techniques for high-level sensor fusion, recognition in timed data, event detection, and event prediction. We use the term “situation understanding” to refer to all these cognitive abilities for inferring high-level representa- tions of the situation at hand. This is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the proposed pro- ject and the first barrier towards true autonomy compared to the current state-of-the-art. Its im- portance can be stretched by the fact that high-level decision making for near-optimal planning and task assignment towards successful mission completion cannot be achieved without a high-level understanding of the situation in the surrounding environment. Each AUV in the system is equipped with a variety of sensors providing continuous low-level data which are filtered and processed to provide information which can then be shared among all vehi- cles. In that sense, the entire team of the AUVs constitutes a sensor network with a dynamically changing topology. Building on the information provided with respect to the current formation, the AUVs can share measurements with what, where, and when labels; i.e., share each observation, its sampling time and location, as well as its possible attributes. Fusing this stream of information in order to create a “clear and complete picture” is the first step towards realizing the NOPTILUS sys- tem; “Cooperative Distributed Estimation for Map Creation and Process Tracking” Module (see section B1.2.5) responsible for completing such a task. The next step is to recognize sequences of interest in this stream of information which may signal the presence or the initiation of a particular event. Finally, the last step is to infer possible evolutions of an on-going event and use this prediction to assist decision making. In other words, there is a need for devising methods which  Based on all available measurements and information provided about the type, location, etc of the mission;  Need to “recognize dynamic events” in order to update the NOPTILUS assignment, planning and navigation module Examples of such – dynamic – events include AUV b...
