ORION is a multi-disciplinary team at the frontier of computer vision, knowledge-based systems, and software engineering.
The ORION project-team is interested in research on intelligent reusable systems and cognitive vision.
More precisely, our research themes deal with the design of intelligent systems based on knowledge representation, learning and reasoning techniques.
We study two levels of re-use: the reuse of programs and the re-use of tools for knowledge-based system design. We propose an original approach based on program supervision techniques which allow to plan modules (or programs) and to control their execution. Our researches concern the representation of knowledge of the programs and their use as well as planning reasoning techniques. Moreover, relying on state of the art practices in software engineering and in object-oriented languages we propose a platform to facilitate the construction of knowledge-based systems.
In cognitive vision we study two kinds of automatic image understanding: video sequence understanding and complex object recognition. Our researches thus concern the representation of the knowledge of objects, of events and of scenarios to recognise, as well as the reasoning processes useful for image understanding, like categorization for object recognition.
