A pixel is the smallest unit of display on a digital device that shows a picture or an image. Any digital image, video or object displayed on a computer or other digital device is composed of millions of pixels.
Pixel learning denotes learning one pixel at a time. It’s a type of AI/ML approach that makes predictions at individual pixel levels within an image or a video. The pixel learning approach allows the model to analyze the input visual information pixel by pixel to offer a more fine-grained and accurate understanding of the visual content.
Applications of Pixel Learning in AI/ML
Image segmentation
Pixel learning is most commonly used in image segmentation tasks is fields such as medical imaging, where the idea is to identify areas within an image or a video at pixel-level detail and classify them as needed.
Object detection
Pixel learning is particularly useful to detect finer details of objects within an image by analyzing every pixel of the image. This is especially crucial in applications such as robotics, video analytics, augmented reality, etc.
Image restoration
Pixel learning is used to restore or enhance images by working on several pixels at a time. This might involve activities such as denoising, inpainting, and super-resolution techniques which are critical tasks in fields like digital forensics, medical imaging, etc.
Image classification
Using pixel learning, machine learning algorithms can be trained to classify images (represented as matrices of pixels) into different classes. Image classification techniques are applied in applications that involve object recognition, face recognition or scene classification.
Image synthesis
Pixel learning techniques can be applied to generate new images or visualization by learning from individual pixel data. Tasks such as image synthesis, style transferring and generative adversarial networks (GAN) can be benefited from this technique.
Autonomous vehicles
When it comes to autonomous vehicles, pixel learning is applied in tasks such as lane detection, object detection, and semantic segmentation of road visuals. Machine learning algorithms can analyze pixel-level data from cameras or LiDAR sensors to recognize lane markings and detect objects and pedestrians in the vicinity. This is a critical requirement for safe autonomous driving.
