Computer Vision (CV)
Computer Vision is a field of AI which deals with how computers can develop a high level of
understanding from digital images or videos just like humans do. Larry Roberts is commonly
considered as the father of Computer Vision. The basic idea of using Computer Vision is to
give any machine the ability to “see” and interpret the world around it. It also involves teaching
computers to understand and process an image at a pixel level.
This diagram clearly shows how CV works.
