Pose Estimation AI application in Smart Factories

June 29, 2024June 29, 2024 by editor Comment Closed

Pose estimation AI is like a super-smart computer program that can look at a picture or a video and figure out how a person or an object is positioned. Imagine it like this:Seeing People and Objects: The AI looks at an image or video and "sees" where people or objects are.Finding Key Points: It identifies key points, like the joints on a human body (shoulders, elbows, knees) or important parts of an object.Connecting the Dots: It connects these points to understand the overall pose or position. For a person, it would look like a stick figure showing how they're standing, sitting, or moving.It's like giving the computer eyes and a brain to understand and track how things are positioned and moving in a scene. This technology is used in things like video games, fitness apps, and even for improving safety in workplaces. During the Sembang AIOT live session this round we were sharing and discussed more about the Pose Estimation AI...

AI and computing power have become highly dynamic, with applications spreading across various sectors and industries. It's a great time to discuss whether LLM servers or services should be on-premise or cloud-based. Let's dive into this topic on "Sembang AIoT"!An LLM, or Large Language Model, in AI is like a very advanced, super-smart robot that can read, understand, and write human language. Here’s a simpler way to explain it:Smart Robot Brain: Think of an LLM as a brainy robot that has read millions of books, articles, and websites. It has learned a lot about how people talk and write.Text Generation: This robot can help you write. If you give it a few words or a topic, it can create stories, essays, or even chat with you like a human would.Answering Questions: You can ask it questions about almost anything, and it will try to give you a helpful answer based on what it has learned.Translation: If you need to translate...
