NEWS MERL's Scene-Aware Interaction Technology Featured in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Press Release Date: July 22, 2020
Where: Tokyo, Japan
MERL Contacts: Anoop Cherian; Chiori Hori; Takaaki Hori; Jonathan Le Roux; Tim Marks; Alan Sullivan; Anthony Vetro
Research Areas: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Speech & AudioBrief- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that the company has developed what it believes to be the world’s first technology capable of highly natural and intuitive interaction with humans based on a scene-aware capability to translate multimodal sensing information into natural language.
The novel technology, Scene-Aware Interaction, incorporates Mitsubishi Electric’s proprietary Maisart® compact AI technology to analyze multimodal sensing information for highly natural and intuitive interaction with humans through context-dependent generation of natural language. The technology recognizes contextual objects and events based on multimodal sensing information, such as images and video captured with cameras, audio information recorded with microphones, and localization information measured with LiDAR.
Scene-Aware Interaction for car navigation, one target application, will provide drivers with intuitive route guidance. The technology is also expected to have applicability to human-machine interfaces for in-vehicle infotainment, interaction with service robots in building and factory automation systems, systems that monitor the health and well-being of people, surveillance systems that interpret complex scenes for humans and encourage social distancing, support for touchless operation of equipment in public areas, and much more. The technology is based on recent research by MERL's Speech & Audio and Computer Vision groups.
