A feature vector is a structured list of numbers in which each number represents the value of one feature of an object or phenomenon described in the dataset. When feature values are not initially given as numbers, they are converted into numerical values before being integrated into the vector. Feature vectors are provided as an input to machine learning models. 3, record 1, English, - feature%20vector

For instance, in image processing, a feature vector may include pixel intensities, color values, or spatial coordinates that collectively define an image’s visual content. 4, record 1, English, - feature%20vector

Un vecteur de caractéristiques est une liste structurée de nombres correspondant chacun à la valeur d'une caractéristique d'un objet ou d'un phénomène décrit dans l'ensemble de données. Lorsque les valeurs des caractéristiques ne sont pas données à l'origine sous forme de nombres, elles sont converties en valeurs numériques avant d'être intégrées dans le vecteur. Les vecteurs de caractéristiques sont fournis en entrée aux modèles d'apprentissage automatique. 3, record 1, French, - vecteur%20de%20caract%C3%A9ristiques

Étant donné une image ou [un] ensemble d'images, les vecteurs de caractéristiques représentent par exemple la localisation spatiale, la couleur, la texture, le mouvement ou des paramètres de courbure ou de surface extraits à partir d'un voisinage local. 4, record 1, French, - vecteur%20de%20caract%C3%A9ristiques
