Human Vision vs Computer Vision Why is Computer Vision Important?

Applications of Computer Vision in Everyday Life

Hey AIVA, I saw a video of a car Oh! So, it’s like the car has robot eyes?
driving by itself. How does it do that
without a driver?

Ah, that’s a driverless car, REVA! Exactly! It uses cameras to detect
roads, people, and signs—just like
how humans use their eyes.
But how can it drive without eyes like us?

That’s really cool!
It uses Computer Vision, a domain of
Artificial Intelligence. This allows the car
to "see" using cameras and understand Let’s learn more about how Computer
what's around it. Vision works.

Computer Vision (CV) is a domain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables computers or machines
to ‘see’ and interpret images and videos, much like humans do. It allows computers to extract

meaningful information from visual inputs. The insights gained from CV are then used to make
automated decisions or take appropriate actions. CV helps machines identify objects, people,
movements, or scenes by analysing visual data—such as images or videos—through cameras,
sensors, and specialised software.
