Glossary

Analysis Engine (AE)

A collection of Perception Pipeline Tree (PPT) definitions.

Annotation

A piece of information created by an Annotator that is stored in the Common Analysis Structure (CAS).

Annotator

A processing module built for a single subtask of a Perception Task.

Common Analysis Structure (CAS)

A datastructure that is used to share information between Annotators.

Goal MilliSeconds Per Tick (Goal MSPT)

The goal value for MilliSeconds Per Tick (MSPT). Depends on the configured tick frequency in RoboKudo .

MilliSeconds Per Tick (MSPT)

The total time spent on a single tick of the whole Perception Pipeline Tree (PPT) including time spent in idle before starting the next tick.

ObjectHypothesis

The basic annotation in RoboKudo, marking an object in the image.

Perception Pipeline Tree (PPT)

A tree made of Annotators and Sequences of Annotators that computes a Perception Task. The tree is “ticked” with a certain frequency to trigger the computations and checks.

Perception Task

A task given to the RoboKudo system. An example for this could be “Detect fruits on the table”.

Region Of Interest (ROI)

The region in an image containing an object of interest.

RoboKudo

A robotic perception framework. Employs an ensemble of (perception) experts which are combined in tree structure inspired by Behaviour Trees.

RoboKudo Webexplorer

A webinterface for interaction with RoboKudo.

Total Tick Time (TTT)

The total time required to compute a tick of the whole Perception Pipeline Tree (PPT) once.
