AI summary

An artificial intelligence system based on spatial-temporal information pairs is provided by the present disclosure. By integrally deploying paired vision, auditory and olfactory acquisition devices, a device that can collect the data within a 720-degree area is constructed, and the multi-dimensional continuous spatial-temporal information pairs such as positions, morphologies, motion states, sounds and odors from the ambient environment of the acquisition device or a same spatial object in the environment are recorded in real time. These information pairs can not only contain spatial relationships and a clock attribute, but also contain rich label attributes, for example, identifiers of acquisition devices, and a name, a category and a behavior pattern of the spatial object.
