Machine learning training and validation interface
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-25
Summary
Pacefactory is looking at enhancing it's object classification engine through the development of a version of machine learning (ML) algorithm to more accurately determine the type of object that is in motion. Currently Pacefactory relies on computer vision metadata attributes to classify a moving object as a person, vehicle, light etc. One of the challenges with this approach is that in some video scenes it is difficult to distinguish objects with a high degree of accuracy. The idea of this project is to test supplementing classification of data using existing ML methods or a variation of these techniques to improve the accuracy of results so that more use cases can be included in the core product offering.

Description
Pacefactory is looking at enhancing it's object classification engine through the development of a version of machine learning (ML) algorithm to more accurately determine the type of object that is in motion. Currently Pacefactory relies on computer vision metadata attributes to classify a moving object as a person, vehicle, light etc. One of the challenges with this approach is that in some video scenes it is difficult to distinguish objects with a high degree of accuracy.

Description (French)
Pacefactory cherche à améliorer son moteur de classification d'objets en développant une version de l'algorithme d'apprentissage machine (AM), et ce, afin de déterminer plus précisément le type d'objet en mouvement. Actuellement, Pacefactory s'appuie sur les attributs des métadonnées de la vision par ordinateur pour classer un objet en mouvement comme une personne, un véhicule, une lumière, etc. L'un des défis de cette approche est que dans certaines scènes vidéo, il est difficile de distinguer des objets avec un haut degré de précision. L'idée de ce projet est de tester la classification complémentaire des données en utilisant des méthodes AM existantes ou une variation de ces techniques. L'objectif est d'améliorer la précision des résultats afin que davantage de cas d'utilisation puissent être inclus dans l'offre de base du produit.
