OVA and Chaac Technologies are teaming up to launch an innovative research and development project called Automated Segmentation and Labeling of 3D Terrains using Artificial Intelligence in the Aerospace Sector (SEA3IA). SEA3IA will commence with the support of Consortium de recherche et d'innovation en aérospatiale au Québec (CRIAQ) and CIMMI - Imagerie Numérique et Médias Interactifs, the project's affiliate research center. This project utilizes drone imagery to create photorealistic 3D environments, and Gaussian Splatting techniques to enhance the quality and speed of image generation. The creation of realistic 3D environments being costly and time consuming, this collaboration’s primary objective is to develop an optimized process for generating photorealistic 3D environments, thus making immersive experiences more accessible.
Both businesses bring their own expertise to the project: OVA with XR solutions development, and Chaac Technologies with drone image acquisition. The resulting synergy, born from a fruitful combination of complementary skills, will be conducive to innovation for both AI and XR and ensure the project’s success and relevance.
For industrial partners, the benefits of SEA3IA include the implementation of new methodologies, and access to advanced technologies.
This project not only addresses crucial technological challenges, but also promises to bring significant innovations in the field of immersive technologies. It is expected to accelerate the adoption of VR/XR in various sectors and enable the creation of innovative educational and entertainment tools, benefiting both businesses and consumers.
