What is computer vision?
Computer vision is a field that includes methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding images and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information, e.g., in the forms of decisions
Humans use their eyes and their brains to see and visually sense the world around them. Computer vision is the science that aims to give a similar, if not better, capability to a machine or computer.
Computer vision is concerned with the automatic extraction, analysis and understanding of useful information from a single image or a sequence of images. It involves the development of a theoretical and algorithmic basis to achieve automatic visual understanding.
The applications of computer vision are numerous and include:
- agriculture
- augmented reality
- autonomous vehicles
- biometrics
- character recognition
- forensics
- industrial quality inspection
- face recognition
- gesture analysis
- geoscience
- image restoration
- medical image analysis
- pollution monitoring
- process control
- remote sensing
- robotics
- security and surveillance
- transport
