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 captured
by cameras 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.”
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 farmers about 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.
Artificial Intelligence
ADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
It is a widely known fact that the capabilities of the human mind depending on various factors such
as 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.
Process Automation
Humans have the tendency to get bored while
performing repetitive tasks, which can hamper
their productivity.
