In ongoing work on spatial relations and scene interpretation, we
present a system that linguistically describes the motion of an object
in a temporal sequence. This description, called the dynamic linguistic
description, is inferred from a sequence of static linguistic
descriptions explaining the relative position, at different instances,
between a moving object and a stationary object. In this preliminary
work, the moving object is assumed to be moving in a straight path at a
constant velocity. The scene is monitored from a fixed pose with a
constant frame rate. The proposed system is potentially useful as a
low-bandwidth remote observation system capable of linguistically
reporting relative position and motion in a scene.
