Computer Vision is a field of AI that enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from the world, such as images or videos. It involves teaching computers to “see” and process visual data like humans do.
Real-world examples:
- Facial recognition: Used in smartphones to unlock devices or in security systems to identify people.
- Object detection: Self-driving cars use computer vision to detect pedestrians, traffic signs, and other vehicles.
- Medical imaging: AI-powered tools analyse X-rays or MRIs to help doctors detect diseases like cancer.
Computer vision is used in many industries, making tasks involving visual data faster and more accurate.
