Sensing Task

A Sensing Task is a detection task that involves acquiring and processing sensory information from environmental sources through sensor devices.

• AKA: Sensing.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) require Sensor Operations for data collection.
  • It can (typically) generate Sensor Records through measurement processes.
  • It can (typically) support Perception Tasks through sensory processing.
  • It can (often) involve Multiple Sensors for comprehensive detection.
  • It can (often) handle Sensor Noise through signal processing.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Sensing Task to being a Complex Sensing Task, depending on its sensing complexity.
  • It can range from being a Natural Sensing Task to being an Artificial Sensing Task, depending on its sensing implementation.
  • It can range from being a Single-Mode Sensing Task to being a Multi-Mode Sensing Task, depending on its sensory modality count.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Biological Sensing Tasks, such as:
    • Vision Task (Natural), detecting visual patterns and light variations.
    • Olfactory Task (Natural), identifying chemical signatures.
    • Tactile Task (Natural), recognizing physical contact and pressure.
  • Technical Sensing Tasks, such as:
    • Image Recognition Task (2024), processing digital images.
    • Environmental Monitoring Task (2024), measuring atmospheric conditions.
    • Motion Detection Task (2024), tracking object movements.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Pure Processing Tasks, which manipulate existing data without sensing.
  • Communication Tasks, which transmit rather than sense information.
  • Actuation Tasks, which generate output rather than gather input.
