Computer Vision

Computer Vision is a field of Artificial Intelligence that enables computers and systems to interpret and understand visual information from the world. By processing images and vidEOS, computer vision allows machines to identify objects, track movements, and extract meaningful data.

Examples of Computer Vision applications include:

• Facial Recognition: Used in security systems and Social Media to identify and verify individuals.
• Autonomous Vehicles: Employing computer vision to detect pedestrians, traffic signs, and road conditions.
• Medical Imaging: Analyzing X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans for diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Augmented Reality: Overlaying digital information onto the real world by recognizing physical objects.
• Quality Inspection: Automated systems in manufacturing to detect defects in products through image analysis.

Case studies include:

• Google Photos: Uses computer vision to automatically categorize and search for images based on their content.
• Amazon Go: Employs computer vision for Checkout-free shopping by tracking items taken by customers.
• Drone Surveillance: Leveraging computer vision for monitoring crops and assessing land use in agriculture.
