Editorial: Understanding animals’ phenotype through automatic behavior assessment

Video-understanding framework for automatic behavior recognition.

We propose an activity-monitoring framework based on a platform called VSIP, enabling behavior recognition in different environments. To allow end-users to actively participate in the development of a new application, VSIP separates algorithms from a priori knowledge. To describe how VSIP works, we present a full description of a system developed with this platform for recognizing behaviors, in...

Automatic understanding of group behavior using fuzzy temporal logic

Automatic behavior understanding refers to the generation of situation descriptions from machine perception. World models created through machine perception can be used by a reasoning engine to deduce knowledge about the observed scene. For this study, the required machine perception is annotated, allowing us to focus on the reasoning problem. The applied reasoning engine is based on fuzzy metr...
