Autonomous Vehicles

                                                                 Autonomous vehicles (also known as self-driving
                                                                 cars)  are  equipped  with  a variety  of advanced
                                                                 technologies, including cameras,  radars  and

                                                                 sensors, to allow the vehicle to navigate and make
                                                                 decisions  without  human intervention.  These
                                                                 vehicles use Computer  Vision (CV)  and  Artificial

                                                                 Intelligence (AI) algorithms to interpret the data
                 collected by these sensors and make real-time decisions about how to drive safely The cameras
                 and sensors in these vehicles are used to detect traffic lights, pedestrians, and road signs to drive
                 safely.


                 Medical Image Analysis

                 Medical Image Analysis is one of the most impactful
                 applications of Computer Vision  (CV) in the

                 healthcare sector. It leverages CV technologies to
                 process, analyse, and interpret medical images such
                 as X-rays,  MRI  scans, and CT scans. The primary
                 goal  is to  assist healthcare  professionals in

                 diagnosing  medical conditions such as tumors,
                 fractures,  infections,  and  other  abnormalities.  By  automating  the  analysis of  these  complex
                 images, CV helps improve diagnostic accuracy, speed up the process, and reduce human error,
                 ultimately leading to better patient care.



                                                     Reading Text from Images (OCR-Optical
                                                     Character Recognition)

                                                     The Optical Character Recognition uses CV to read printed
                                                     or  handwritten  text  from  images or  scanned  documents.  It
                                                     is useful in digitising books, receipts  and  IDs. The Google

                                                     Translate app has a very handy feature that helps you read
                                                     signs or  text in a foreign language.  Instead of manually
                                                     typing words or phrases to translate, you can simply point
                                                     your phone’s camera at the text, and the app will instantly
                 show you the translation in your preferred language. The app uses a technology called Optical

                 Character Recognition (OCR), which allows it to "see" the text in the image. OCR scans the letters
                 and words in the picture, recognising them just like a human would read them.
