A Fuzzy Set Approach to Representing Spatio-Temporal and Environmental Context: Preliminary Considerations

This paper aims at providing a preliminary discussion on how to deal with spatio-temporal information in the context of behaviour recognition. It draws comparison with how humans reason in other areas, such as law, and discusses some of the pros and cons of formalisms for handling uncertainty, starting with probability theory, continuing with the Dempster-Shafer theory, and concluding with fuzzy logic.
