Abstract
A vocabulary for the description of real-world image sequences of a traffic scene is introduced. Its descriptive power and completeness is discussed. Different knowledge sources like knowledge about trajectories, special places in the domain, standard properties and situations and knowledge associating pragmatic situations with observations of motion, are shown to determine the applicability of verbs. The selection of a verb out of several applicable verbs for a given image sequence is discussed.
The author works in the project NAOS which is partially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
