What is Computer Vision?
It is a technology that allows computers to analyze visual data (photos, videos) and make sense of the objects, people or events in them.
Overview
Computer vision allows artificial intelligence to see and interpret the world like a human. It analyzes not only the pixels, but also what those pixels mean (for example, a cat or a traffic accident). Thanks to this technology, machines can process the visual world.
How it works
Visual data is passed through artificial neural networks. The model classifies or locates objects in the image based on millions of examples it has seen in the past.
Where it is used
It is used in autonomous vehicles, facial recognition systems, medical imaging and security cameras.
Commonly confused with
Can be mixed with multimodal; multimodal can process both text and images, while computer vision is visually oriented.
Frequently asked questions
Can computer vision see everything?
No, it is as successful as the data it is trained on.
Does it cause incorrect recognition?
Yes, it can be mistaken for low quality images or an object it has never seen before.
