Service: Kratt Folli - Recognition of museum objects

The National Heritage Board, together with pilot museums, will test the Artificial Intelligence Folli. The preliminary application for the project was declared compliant by the State Information System Board. The National Heritage Board will start preparing the procurement in order to start the analysis and prototyping of the search in case of a positive decision. The project analyzes how museums can be described as kratt and creates a prototype called Folli, who is like a real museum worker, because Folli recognizes what is depicted in the picture and makes this information available to us. The prototype will be developed and tested in collaboration with pilot museums and volunteers. More than 10 Estonian museums have given up as pilot museums, and other memory institutions have also shown interest. The aim of the project is to take an important step towards automating the description of a museum. Image recognition has been practiced in both memory institutions and the private sector, but it is more about experiments or looking for solutions to individual questions (eg whether there is a man or a woman in the image). The analysis to be created must find answers to the questions of how to develop a chatbot that recognizes objects, activities and themes in images. However, the prototype can already find answers to some questions that need to be solved.
