Perception et compréhension
De l'IA qui interprète le monde, par le texte, l'image ou le son.
Qu'est-ce que « Perception et compréhension » ?
Cette catégorie regroupe les systèmes d'IA qui captent, interprètent ou perçoivent des données de leur environnement, en imitant des sens humains : la vue, l'ouïe, le toucher, l'odorat et la compréhension du langage. Ces capacités forment le socle de la perception d'une IA : elles lui permettent d'extraire du sens d'entrées non structurées — texte, images, vidéo, audio ou signaux environnementaux.
| Sous-catégorie | Description | Exemples |
|---|---|---|
| Compréhension du langage — traitement automatique du langage naturel (TALN) | Comprendre et produire du langage humain | Agents conversationnels, résumé de documents |
| Vision par ordinateur | Comprendre des images, des vidéos et des données spatiales | Détection d'objets, analyse d'imagerie satellitaire, identification d'espèces |
| Reconnaissance de la parole | Convertir de l'audio en texte | Transcription automatique, commandes vocales pour assistants virtuels |
| IA multimodale | Combiner des types d'entrées (texte et images, etc.) | Légendage d'images, outils de compréhension de documents |
| IA olfactive (reconnaissance artificielle des odeurs) | Détecter et interpréter des odeurs à l'aide de nez électroniques | Détection de fuites de gaz, détection d'altération, identification de polluants en laboratoire |
| IA haptique (perception artificielle du toucher) | Interpréter le toucher et le retour tactile | Échantillonnage robotisé, détection de pression, texture, température |
| Détection d'événements sonores | Reconnaître des sons autres que la parole | Chants de mammifères marins, alertes mécaniques, anomalies de bruit moteur |
| IA de fusion de capteurs | Combiner plusieurs entrées sensorielles | Navigation de véhicules sous-marins autonomes, surveillance d'habitats |

Topaz AI SoftwareEnhance underwater video from ROV and tow camera deployments in the offshore region and elsewhere. The deployment of these platforms is incredibly time- and resource-consuming, making the optimization of available video an important part of getting the most from this imagery. In addition there are camera limitations from the available DFO survey tools and framegrabs from video will be used as a major product from surveys, making enhancement to high quality images crucial.
