A support system construction for multimedia information data acquisition

A support system construction for multimedia information data acquisition is proposed, where the multimedia means the five senses of a human being. Observed information from outside world is characterized by VAGOT (visual, acoustic, gustatory, olfactory and tactile) time series data. Here, multimedia information centers on image and sound, represented by membership functions. Fuzzy rules based on visual and acoustic information are used to identify the appropriate time interval on multimedia input data. When instruction of the user has temporal vagueness, rule base is updated by the support system based on fuzzy shift. This method is applied to one experiment that is related with the temporal boundary subset of various vehicles and the results show the feasibility of the proposed system.
