CONT

Semantic segmentation focuses on classifying each pixel in an image into a specific category. It assigns a unique class label to each pixel in an image and divides it into one of the predefined set of semantic categories, such as person, car, or tree. However, this segmentation technique does not differentiate between instances of the same class and treats them as a single entity. Imagine coloring a scene where all cars are blue, all people are red, and everything else is green – that's semantic segmentation in action.

OBS

Semantic segmentation is a type of image segmentation.

CONT

La segmentation sémantique est l'assignation d'une classe à chaque pixel d'une image afin de cerner précisément les éléments qui la composent. Ce procédé diffère de la détection d'objets qui se limite à identifier la position approximative des éléments dans l'image. Bien que plus difficile, ce niveau de précision a ses avantages. Par exemple, lors de l'application sélective d'herbicide, la proximité des plantes est un enjeu important. Le simple rectangle autour d'une cible probable n'est plus suffisant, car il peut mener à une application sur les mauvaises espèces.

OBS

La segmentation sémantique est un type de segmentation d'images.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

An idle-stop system, also commonly known as a start-stop system, is essentially what makes up today's increasingly popular so-called mild hybrids.... The battery in a mild hybrid is still very important, but its main purpose is as a part of the idle-stop system that shuts off the gasoline engine when a mild hybrid is at rest, coasting or slowing down. For instance, a stop at a red light at an intersection will cause the engine to cut off. When the car is idle, no gas will burn inside the engine. Once the light turns green and the driver applies pressure to the gas pedal, the engine should switch back on seamlessly, as though it hadn’t been turned off at all.
