COMPUTER VISION :
How Computers See and Understand the World
Computer vision is a must-have for many organisations because it provides a new way for computers to ‘ see ’ and understand the world , we look at how and why
WRITTEN BY : LAURA BERRILL
Computer vision in simple terms is the science of how computers can be programmed to understand what they visually identify . The technology is implemented in applications where you want to make sense of the pixels in a certain image . The AI algorithm automatically analyses images and produces metadata based on it , such as date , time , camera type and geographical location , among other things . It is also possible for these algorithms to detect objects like people , animals , cars or buildings .
It differs from AI-based image recognition because computer vision essentially ‘ talks ’ to the camera with the help of an interface , whereas in image recognition , it just identifies objects within a digital image .
Deep learning is what enables computer vision technology . It is an approach to artificial intelligence that employs algorithms inspired by the structure and function of neurons in animal brains . Where deep learning comes in is that it employs multiple processing layers that are capable of using artificial intelligence that processes information more quickly than traditional computer programmes .
