                  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.

                  The tasks performed by CV
                  A CV can perform the following tasks:
                     • Object Classification: It can analyse and  identify a particular object among many in an image or
                     a video. For example, CV system can identify an apple amongst a bunch of flowers in an image.
