BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used in analyzing data to facilitate object detection, prediction, decision making, and other uses. For example, AI inference is a process of using AI models to make a prediction. AI inference often needs a large number of computing resources and memory resources.

Edge devices (e.g., devices with sensing and/or computing capability) can be deployed to dispersed locations on earth or in space. Some edge devices may include one or more sensors for collecting sensor data and/or one or more computing resources to process data (e.g., identifying objects). A satellite can include and/or integrate with edge devices. As an example, edge devices can be deployed to various areas to complete certain tasks.

Hence, it is generally desirable to improve the techniques for sensor cueing in AI platforms, in order to improve performance of the sensors used for AI model input.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Conventional systems and methods implementing artificial intelligence (AI) models include many sensors that are incorporated into a system in order for multiple devices to be operated based on robust data analysis and decision-making that are performed by the AI models. In order for the AI models to make accurate decisions, it is important for the sensors to be able to generate and provide as much data as possible to be processed by the AI models. However, in some examples, doing so would increase the amount of data being generated and stored in the processing devices of the AI models as well as causing delayed response when the data transfer takes a longer period of time.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve benefits and/or improvements by a computing system incorporating multiple sensors and using AI models to process the sensor data, for example, at an edge device. In some embodiments, benefits include improvements, including, for example, improved control and improved performance of one or more sensors that are implemented with the AI models. In some embodiments, benefits include improving the performance of the one or more sensors by correcting sensor biases (e.g., incorrect target, incorrect setting, etc.) and/or removing erroneous information. In some embodiments, benefits include dynamically selecting, adding, updating, configuring, and managing AI models, allowing a model controller to select, manage, configure, deploy, add, update, start, replace, and/or remove one or more computing models within an AI Inference Platform (AIP) operation environment. In some embodiments, benefits include improved performance and adaptability of the AI infrastructure in different situations and environments by instantiating, updating, editing, or disconnecting one or more AI models according to received instructions and/or data.

In some embodiments, the AIP is configured to interact with the sensor to send one or more command(s) to the sensor and control how the sensor captures the data based on one or more user inputs and/or inference configurations. In one example, the AIP system is looking at a target (e.g., a car) or looking for a target (e.g., a car with specific characteristics). In some examples, the AIP 110 is configured to send a command to the sensor 120, where the sensor command includes one or more command parameters.

For example, the AIP receives a processing result from a computing model and the output of AIP is sent to a user device, where the user can see the processing result (e.g., the inferences), so that the user can interact with the processing result, for example, the user can identify the target object (e.g., a single object, two or more objects) in the processing result and request to track the target object. As another example, the user may request the sensor and the edge device to move closer to the target object or an area, and the AIP is configured to generate the sensor command incorporate such request. In some embodiments, using the sensor commands, the AIP system can collect more relevant sensor data that allows meaningful inferences.

In some embodiments, one mode of sensor cueing is based on one or more model inferences and model processing results. In certain embodiments, the one or more model inferences (e.g., model processing results) include an identification of a target object. In some embodiments, the one or more model processing results include an identification of an area. In certain embodiments, the one or more model inferences include an identification of an area associated with the target object.

In some embodiments, at the process 440, the AIP system and/or the AIP is configured to transmit the sensor data to one or more computing models, and/or a processing pipeline.

According to some embodiments, an example implementation of a deployment environment 500 for AIP is illustrated in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is merely an example. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. In one example, an aircraft 510, for example, on the other side of the mountain, detects (e.g., sees) one or more targets 520 and the aircraft 510 is configured to relay the detection back to a base device 530A in a base station 530 and/or one or more other edge devices (e.g., an aircraft 512, an aircraft 514, a satellite 516, one or more devices 518 (e.g., the user device 140 in FIG. 1, the user device 240 in FIG. 2) associated with one or more persons, an aircraft 532, one or more vehicles 534). In certain embodiments, each of the edge devices 510, 512, 514, 516, 532, 534 includes a corresponding AIP 510A, 512A, 514A, 516A, 532A, 534A, and corresponding one or more sensors 120, 512B, 514B, 516B, 532B, 534B. In certain embodiments, each edge device includes an AIP (e.g., the AIP 110 in FIG. 1, the AIP 210 in FIG. 2). In some embodiments, at least some of the edge devices include an AIP. In certain embodiments, at least one of the edge devices does not include an AIP.

In some embodiments, while an edge device (e.g., the aircraft 512) is collecting sensor data regarding a target (e.g., target 520), it may initiate, direct, and/or coordinate with another edge device (e.g., the aircraft 514) to collect sensor data regarding the same target (e.g., target 520). In one example, a first edge device 510 may launch or cause a second edge device 512 to collect sensor data regarding the same target 520, for example, collecting images and/or videos from a different angle to see whether the target is a certain type of object of interest. In some examples, the AIP 512A may receive a corresponding model request and select, load, and start a requested computing model. In certain examples, the AIP 512A may receive a model request and select, load, and start a requested computing model via a model controller (e.g., the model controller 109 in FIG. 1, the model controller 209 in FIG. 2). In some examples, a container infrastructure (e.g., the container infrastructure 150 in FIG. 1, the container infrastructure 250 in FIG. 2) is configured to receive container request(s) and in response to the container request(s), load, instantiate, and/or update a computing model for the model request. In certain examples, the container infrastructure is configured to allocate resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources) for the computing model based upon the model request.

In certain embodiments, two or more edge devices are configured to collect sensor data and confirm, for example, by one of the two or more edge devices or another control device, that the collected sensor data from the two or more edge devices are associated with the same target. In some examples, the collected sensor data from the two or more edge devices are associated with the same target from different angles. In some embodiments, a first edge device provides the location information of the target and one or more other edge devices (e.g., the edge device 516) will collect sensor data of the target based on the location information. In one example, the second edge device (e.g., the edge device 516) may identify the target to be an object of interest (e.g., a newer vehicle), and the second edge device via the AIP and/or one or more other AIPs in the AIP system incorporating one or more AIPs is configured to direct a third edge device (e.g., the edge device 514) to collect sensor data regarding the target.

According to some embodiments, the AIP (e.g., 510A, 512A, 514A, 516A, 532A, 534A) is configured to interact with the corresponding sensor (e.g., 120, 512B, 514B, 516B, 532B, 534B) to send one or more command(s) to the sensor and control how the sensor captures the data. In some embodiments, the AIP is configured to interact with the sensor to send one or more command(s) to the sensor and control how the sensor captures the data based on one or more user inputs and/or inference configurations. In one example, the AIP system is looking at a target (e.g., a car) or looking for a target (e.g., a car with specific characteristics). In some examples, the AIP 510A is configured to send a command to the sensor 120, where the sensor command includes one or more command parameters. In certain examples, the sensor command is sent via the sensor API (e.g., the sensor API 111 in FIG. 1).

In some embodiments, the command parameters include one or more target characteristics, one or more sensor parameters, one or more device parameters, and/or the like. For example, the one or more target characteristics include a type of object, a size of object, a color of object, a shape of object, a feature of object, and/or the like. In certain embodiments, the one or more sensor parameters include a type of sensor, a feature of sensor, a configuration of sensor, a sensing range, a sensing angle, and/or the like. In some examples, the sensor is an image sensor and the sensor parameters include a zooming parameter, a resolution parameter, a frame rate parameter, a gain parameter, a binning parameter, an image format parameter, and/or the like. In certain examples, the sensor includes an acoustic sensor, a transducer, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, and/or the like. In certain embodiments, the one or more device parameters include a location parameter, a position parameter, a speed parameter, and/or the like. In some examples, the command includes a command to follow the target, for example, a command of an edge device following movements of the target.

According to certain embodiments, the AIP system include two modes of sensor cueing. In some embodiments, one mode of sensor cueing will use one or more user inputs. For example, the AIP receives a processing result from a computing model and the output of AIP is sent to a user device, where the user can see the processing result (e.g., the inferences), so that the user can interact with the processing result, for example, the user can identify the target object (e.g., a single object, two or more objects) in the processing result and request to track the target object. As another example, the user may request the sensor and the edge device to move closer to the target object or an area, and the AIP is configured to generate the sensor command incorporating such request. In some embodiments, using the sensor commands, the AIP system can collect more relevant sensor data that allows meaningful inferences.

According to certain embodiments, the AIP system is configured to use sensor cueing to improve the performance of the sensor, for example, to collect more relevant data from the sensor. In some embodiments, the AIP system is configured to improve the model, for example, by changing the model parameter or replacing the model, to improve the performance of the sensor.

In some examples, the AIP 510A is configured to receive one or more model inferences and/or one or more user inputs and generate the sensor command to send to the sensor 120. In certain examples, based on the sensor command, the sensor 120 is configured to adjust one or more sensor parameters. In some examples, the sensor 120 is configured to extract the one or more sensor parameters from the sensor command. In certain examples, the sensor 120 is configured to adjust one or more sensor parameters based on the command parameters in the sensor command. For example, the sensor 120 is configured to take images of a smaller area (e.g., 3 by 3 miles) instead of a bigger area (e.g., 5 by 5 miles). In some examples, the AIP 510A is configured to receive better model inferences generated by models using the sensor data collected by the sensor 120.

According to certain embodiments, two or more edge devices may communicate with each other and make a determination that the collected sensor data is of a same target (e.g., the same vehicle). In some embodiments, the determination of the same target is done using location (e.g., space) and time information using one or more algorithms (e.g., one or more naive algorithms). In certain embodiments, the AIP system can make a determination of the same target using one or more sensor data (e.g., image data) and one or more models (e.g., computer vision models/algorithms). In one example, a computer vision algorithm on an edge device can determine that this is a same target from one or more different angles collected from one or more edge devices.

According to some embodiments, the AIP and/or the AIP system can use one or more protocols for communications among two or more components of the AIP systems. In certain embodiments, the AIP allows making decision all the way to the edge. In some embodiments, two or more edge devices each may have one or more sensors and may be at a location different from each other. In one example, the sensors at the two or more edge devices are configured to collect data regarding a same target (e.g., cameras taking pictures at the same target). In certain embodiments, the AIP and/or the AIP system can synchronize respective AIPS and two or more edge devices (e.g., the four edge devices 510, 512, 514, 516) that are collecting data associated with the same target. In some embodiments, the AIP and/or the AIP system can synchronize two or more edge devices to enhance the accuracy (e.g., the accuracy of the detection).
