VAMPIRE - Visual Active Memory Processes and Interactive Retrieval

VAMPIRE is a research project on cognitive computer vision funded by the European Union (IST-2001-34401, May 2002- July 2005). It investigates artifical intelligent systems that are able to understand what they see based on what they have previously memorised. In this sense, the research focuses on Visual Active Memory Processes. Another important goal is to develop advanced techniques for Interactive REtrieval and interactive learning. Therefore, a wearable augmented reality system is realised that provides the user with cognitive assistance functions while she is normally acting in a room. In short, the aim of VAMPIRE is to proceed towards memory prosthetic devices or some kind of memory spectacles.

The project is carried out in close cooperation with the applied computer science group and four external partners.
