Computer Vision

Technical Definition

Computer Vision is a field of AI that enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from the world. It involves training models to process and analyze images or videos to identify objects, classify images, and even make sense of complex visual data like human actions or scenes. Techniques used in computer vision include image segmentation, object detection, and optical character recognition (OCR).

Real-World Applications

Autonomous vehicles rely heavily on computer vision to detect pedestrians, vehicles, and traffic signs to navigate safely. Security systems use facial recognition, a form of computer vision, to identify individuals in real-time for access control or surveillance purposes.
