The Technology Behind An Artificially Intelligent TV
Smart TVs are now dominating the consumer market. LG's latest, artificial intelligence-based TV has attracted a lot of attention due to its high-quality display quality, digital assistants, and other features. All powered by AI. Apart from LG, other top tech companies like Samsung and Sony have been using intelligent technology in some way to improve customer experience. This includes improved video quality and AI assistants that can solve customer queries.
We have previously covered a short story about how TCL TV Japan are changing entertainment. This article will focus on the technology behind the change.
How AITV Works: The Tech
Companies and researchers are looking for ways to combine artificial intelligence with design, cinematography, and editing. This will also impact the content that one consumes. Researchers are looking to use machine learning algorithms to recognize voice commands, act on them, and translate them into digital signals that make things happen in real time.
To improve user experience, TVs integrate AI-based intelligent speech interaction. It's interesting to see that TVs integrate the same technology that Apple and Amazon use to power Siri or Alexa. These TVs work on the principle of speech recognition technology. It converts human speech into textual formal and natural language processing, which are used to understand context. These two technologies are not the only ones that AI TVs use. They also make use of advances in machine learning, IoT, and other techniques to enhance their capabilities.
NLP, Computer Vision And Intelligent Digital Assistant In Smart TVs
LG's AI TV, which was recently launched, has the most powerful Intelligent processor the company has ever created. The a9 (Alpha9) processor is believed to be 50% faster than that in LG's 2017 OLED TVs. It produces the best visuals and optimises processor speed. It delivers sharper visuals and smoother graduations.
Computer vision is crucial in the production of sharper visuals and smoother graduations. Images that look great on the screen will require a traditional approach. To get the best results, different parts of an image might need to be treated differently. It can be overwhelming to perform multiple operations, such as smoothening, enhancement, and sharpening high-contrast parts, at once.
It claims that the intelligent processor can do this faster by applying object recognition AI. The intelligent processor will be able identify faces in photos, much like the algorithms that can tell if it is a dog or cat. TV is an example of computer vision adoption. It will be able to analyse scenes quite intelligently in TV. This could allow it to distinguish between buildings, landscapes, and people.
The Alpha 9 processor, which is more powerful than ever, was specifically designed to power AI and natural languages requests via a microphone on the remote. This technology allows you to have a natural conversation and communicate with your TV, such as turning on the TV, changing the show, or listening to a soundtrack. For the best picture, the Alpha 9 processor has a four-step noise reduction process. LG 2018 OLED TV features an intelligent digital assistant, which allows you to intuitively control it by simply speaking to the LG Magic Remote.
Concluding note
LG is keen to expand its AI capabilities around the world, including India, China and Japan. We can expect more innovation from LG as it strives to use AI and innovative technology to provide customers with the best experience.
There are many Indian startups that are putting AI in TV, not just LG. Sensara Technologies, a Bengaluru-based startup, has created Sensy Fusion, an Android-based AI device that allows you to choose the shows and channels that interest you. It is developing a hybrid TV with AI that aims to blur the line between internet TV and broadcast TV. These and other developments are part of a vision for a future where AI drives all functions of TV.
