Abu Dhabi-UAE: Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a worldwide analysis heart and utilized analysis pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council, by means of its Autonomous Robotic Research Center (ARRC), has launched the crowdsourcing competitors “Infrared Tracking Challenge” with the view of creating algorithms to course of and interpret data from thermal imaging sensors.

Autonomous floor autos are able to understanding their setting by making use of deep-learning-based algorithms on high of perceptual data acquired from their sensors. At evening, nonetheless, attributable to low quantity of sunshine, the usage of a regular RGB imager will not be enough. An answer is to make use of thermal imaging sensors, that are able to capturing warmth information as a substitute of sunshine.

TII is utilizing this crowdsourcing competitors to find machine learning-based options that may detect, observe and re-identify objects in the dead of night, with solely warmth data. Open to innovators, startups, analysis institutes, and college college students, the problem will award the profitable submissions a complete of $75,000.
