COMPUTER VISION (CV)
Computer Vision is a very popular field of AI that trains a computer to understand and interpret the
visual world. Human vision starts at the “eyes” but machine uses digital images from a camera for
vision. Deep learning models and machines accurately identify and classify objects that act according
to what they see, using digital images from camera.
According to Fei-Fei Li, Computer Vision is defined as “a subset of mainstream artificial intelligence
that deals with the science of making computers or machines visually enabled, i.e., they can analyse
and understand an image.”
Tech Fact
Developed by scientists at DAMO Academy, Alibaba's global research program, the Alibaba
model scored 0.54 in the MS Marco question-answering task, which evaluates a machine's
ability to use natural language that topped the human score of 0.539.
Applications of Computer Vision
From recognising to processing the live action of a football game, Computer Vision challenges and
surpasses human visual abilities in many areas. Let us understand some of the real-time uses of
Computer Vision.
Self-driving cars use computer vision to examine their surroundings and plan its path. Drones can
use computer vision to examine the health of crops and alert the farmers of the crop's condition. In
healthcare industry, computer vision can be used to check the patient's image and determine the
ailment. Computer Vision is also used for security and surveillance.
ADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
It is a widely known fact that, the capabilities of the human mind vary from time to time, situation to
situation, their surroundings, and physical and mental exertion. Whereas, AI on the other hand, has
no such limitation and can function efficiently even under harsh conditions. Similarly, AI also has some
other advantages over human intelligence.
