Abstract
Systems and methods for solving queries on image data are provided. The system includes a processor device coupled to a memory device. The system includes a detector manager with a detector application programming interface (API) to allow external detectors to be inserted into the system by exposing capabilities of the external detectors and providing a predetermined way to execute the external detectors. An ontology manager exposes knowledge bases regarding ontologies to a reasoning engine. A query parser transforms a natural query into query directed acyclic graph (DAG). The system includes a reasoning engine that uses the query DAG, the ontology manager and the detector API to plan an execution list of detectors. The reasoning engine uses the query DAG, a scene representation DAG produced by the external detectors and the ontology manager to answer the natural query.
