Abstract
Knowledge based scene interpretation is a complex task, systems for performing this task tend to be complex, too. It may seem risky to trust such a system and they may be cumbersome to use, in particular for the user who is an expert in the task domain but not an expert in computer science. An explanation facility should provide a justification of a result computed by the system in a format which is also comprehensible to a person who is not the system designer. A user interface should at least assist a person in using the system efficiently without reading extensive manuals. So the purpose of explanation and user interface is to make a complex system transparent and easy to use.
