Abstract

Activity recognition systems and their supporting temporal representations typically model the occurrence of an event using numeric values or numeric ranges for start times, finish times, and durations. Such an approach may not adequately reflect the uncertainty and variation experienced in real situations. This paper in-vestigates a more general representation for event duration and start time using fuzzy sets. From this representation, confidence functions are defined in support of reasoning about a sequence of event occurrences. The potential application of this approach to the problem of focus of attention in sensor allocation is discussed.
