uncertainty of sensors

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Sensor readings are rarely 100% accurate or precise. This is sometimes due to limitations in the sensors themselves, sometimes due to the environment (dirty lens, poor visibility,etc.), and sometimes due to the processing that occurs between the raw sensor readings and values returned (for example if there is a low-level AI algorithm). Higher level processing often needs to use some form of reasoning with uncertainty to take account of this.
