Abstract

In this paper, we present a case study that exemplifies
general ideas of system integration and coordination.
The application field of assistant technology provides an
ideal test bed for complex computer vision systems including
real-time components, human-computer interaction, dynamic
3-d environments, and information retrieval aspects.
In our scenario the user is wearing an augmented reality device
that supports her/him in everyday tasks by presenting
information that is triggered by perceptual and contextual
cues. The system integrates a wide variety of visual functions
like localization, object tracking and recognition, action
recognition, interactive object learning, etc. We show
how different kinds of system behavior are realized using
the Active Memory Infrastructure that provides the technical
basis for distributed computation and a data- and eventdriven
integration approach.
