Amid the fourth industrial revolution, next-generation applied sciences such Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, 6G and robotics have been accelerating the modifications expertise is making to our day by day lives, inside the areas of transportation, banking and even health.
Samsung Electronics has lengthy acknowledged the importance of those superior applied sciences, and has been actively pursuing innovation in these fields. Expert researchers are working laborious at Samsung Research’s1 14 R&D facilities and seven international AI facilities everywhere in the world with the intention to put together for the long run, innovate for customers and create the subsequent technology of cutting-edge applied sciences and providers that the Samsung Electronics’ legacy is constructed on.
In this relay sequence, Samsung Newsroom is introducing tech consultants from Samsung’s R&D facilities across the globe to listen to extra in regards to the work they do and the methods wherein it’s immediately bettering the lives of customers.
The first skilled within the sequence to be launched is Sergii Lytvynenko, Head of the Visual Intelligence Team at Samsung R&D Institute Ukraine (SRK). Sergii has been working for SRK for greater than decade since he first joined as a SW Engineer. Read on to listen to extra in regards to the groundbreaking work Lytvynenko and his group undertake at SRK.
Q: Can you please briefly introduce the Samsung R&D Institute Ukraine and the sort of work that goes on there?
Our R&D middle is situated in Kyiv, located within the coronary heart of Ukraine. Since its inception in 2009, SRK has been centered on and has deep experience within the AI, Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) and Security domains. SRK consists of outstanding trade professionals and is presently engaged on the examine of intelligence safety, pc imaginative and prescient, context-aware clever providers, and extra. Also, as a part of industrial-educational cooperation initiatives, SRK actively co-operates with native universities and colleges.
Q: What are you and the Visual Intelligence Team engaged on in the meanwhile?
Our group is presently conducting basic analysis into the AI, Computer Vision and Computer Graphics domains. The major mission of our group is to rework analysis developments into holistic consumer experiences, thereby enhancing the standard of individuals’s lives, simplifying their day by day routines and delivering optimistic feelings and immersive experiences.
To accomplish that, we’re collaborating carefully with numerous groups in different international locations by conducting superior analysis in our focal domains and dealing with totally different enterprise items by contributing our core applied sciences to Samsung merchandise.
Q: Your group covers two main technological domains – Computer Vision and Computer Graphics. How do these applied sciences contribute to innovating new consumer experiences?
Last yr, we undertook in depth work on the Smart Trainer answer, which allows a completely new degree of house health experiences. Through the USB digital camera related to the Samsung Smart TV, the system can monitor your actions, hold monitor of the workout routines you do and even supply suggestions in your kind accuracy, all because of AI. We are actually very glad that Samsung TV customers can get pleasure from this characteristic of their houses.
Q: How are you incorporating the important thing applied sciences out of your focal domains into your present initiatives, comparable to AR Glasses?
These days we’re performing superior R&D to deal with main challenges within the pc imaginative and prescient and graphics areas for AR Glasses. On the imaginative and prescient aspect, we’re engaged on the important options required for AR, together with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Depth Estimation, Environment Understanding and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). On the graphics aspect, we’re conducting analysis into low-latency rendering for AR and Game Performance optimization.
