Explainable-AI Image Recognition Is the Next Step for U.S. Air Force Unmanned Aircraft

Z Advanced Computing, Inc. (ZAC), a Potomac Maryland-based start-up, will develop 3D image recognition technology for U.S. Air Force unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. The aerial image and object recognition software is based on ZAC’s in-house Explainable-AI (XAI) image recognition software, where computer-generated image results can be understood by human experts.
