Computer vision is a branch of Artificial Intelligence used to develop techniques that enable computers to process visual input from JPEG files or camera videos and images.
Applications of Computer Vision
1. Object Tracking
Computer vision enables the detection of videos and images by machines. With this detection, devices can provide real-time identification and tracking of objects. This object tracking by computer vision is used extensively in robotics, security systems, and autonomous vehicles.
2. Augmented reality
Augmented reality experiences are created with computer vision to overlay digital information over the real world. Computer vision in augmented reality is used in various applications such as gaming, training, and education.
3. Robotics
Computer vision enables robots to interact and move around in their environment, making them more autonomous and capable.
4. Facial recognition
Facial recognition technology widely applied in security systems, and law enforcement uses computer vision to recognize facial features and identify individuals.
5. Visual search
Using computer vision, users can find relevant information faster by assisting machines to recognize and identify products, objects, and places within images and videos.
6. Autonomous systems
Many autonomous systems like self-driving cars, robots, and drones use computer vision to understand their surroundings and make decisions accordingly.
7. Medical imaging
Diagnostic tests such as CT scans, MRI scans, and x-rays are powered by computer vision. By analyzing medical images, computer vision facilitates a more accurate diagnosis of the disease.
