  <title><![CDATA[SKYSCENES Leverages New Algorithms to Improve Safety for Autonomous Flying Vehicles]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>An artificial intelligence (AI) training dataset developed at Georgia Tech is <a href="https://www.cc.gatech.edu/news/skyscenes-dataset-could-lead-safe-reliable-autonomous-flying-vehicles">setting a new standard for the safety and reliability of autonomous drones and flying vehicles</a>.</p><p>SKYSCENES compiles more than 33,000 annotated computer-generated aerial images. With applications in urban planning, disaster response, and autonomous navigation, the dataset trains computer vision models to better detect and identify objects in aerial images, which can be challenging for existing AI models.</p><p><a href="https://www.cc.gatech.edu/news/skyscenes-dataset-could-lead-safe-reliable-autonomous-flying-vehicles">Read the full story</a> to learn how School of Interactive Computing Ph.D. student <strong>Sahil</strong> <strong>Khose</strong> and Assistant Professor <strong>Judy</strong> <strong>Hoffman</strong> developed this groundbreaking dataset to pave the way for the future of autonomous aviation.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
