Description (French)
Développement du logiciel de détection d'objets d'IA. Le rôle principal du candidat sera de soutenir AltoMaxx dans le développement du logiciel de détection d'objets d'IA. Contexte : AltoMaxx développe un logiciel de détection d'objets basé sur le principe YOLO (You Only Look Once), intégré à des RPAS pour l'inspection d'infrastructures essentielles. • Cette capacité permettra d'accroître la vitesse, la précision, la fiabilité et l'efficacité de la collecte de données pour les inspections d'infrastructures essentielles. • Le fait de se fier au pilotage manuel et au jugement de l'opérateur de la charge utile pour la détermination des biens et la saisie des données pourrait donner lieu à des données de qualité inégale. • Il a été prouvé que la capture efficace et fiable de données par des drones augmente la sécurité, la fiabilité et la productivité des infrastructures essentielles.
