Abstract

Discusses the visual perception of actions that are discretely conceptualized. The present author's intent is to develop a vision system that produces causal or intentional descriptions of actions, providing the conceptual underpinnings of natural language descriptions. The computational theory is developed in linking a "point of action definition" analysis to an analysis of how the physical events will elicit appropriate verbal descriptions. A theory of perception is derived that provides some insight into how to go about constructing systems that can watch the world and report on what they are watching.
