ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 Question 55
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 — Question 55 of 60
Distinguishing a pedestrian from a vehicle by processing large numbers of images.
Image recognition trained on many labelled examples is the classic deep learning application: a neural network learns the visual features that separate the classes, which is far beyond what hand-written rules achieve.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) — an accelerometer triggering an air bag is a threshold rule on a single sensor value; no learning is involved
- (c) — an idling stop mechanism is mechanical control driven by fixed conditions
- (d) — updating maps over a mobile line is software distribution, unrelated to inference
Key rule: Look for a task where the rules cannot practically be written by hand — recognising objects in images is the standard example, while sensor thresholds and scheduled updates are ordinary engineering.
