Computer Vision in AI

What is Computer Vision?

Computer Vision is a field of AI that enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from images and videos, mimicking human sight.

How Computer Vision Works

1. Image acquisition through cameras or sensors.
2. Pre-processing (resizing, normalization).
3. Feature extraction using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
4. Classification, detection, or segmentation of objects.

Key Techniques

• Image Classification: Assigning a label to an entire image.
• Object Detection: Locating and identifying multiple objects.
• Image Segmentation: Dividing an image into meaningful regions.
• Facial Recognition: Identifying or verifying individuals from images.

Real-World Applications

• Self-driving cars.
• Medical image diagnostics.
• Retail checkout automation.
• Surveillance and security systems.
