Computer Vision
An In-depth Overview
Introduction
• Computer Vision (CV) is the AI field that trains
computers to interpret and understand visual
information from the world.
Core Concepts
• Image Classification and Object Detection
• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
• Segmentation (semantic and instance)
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
• Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for images
Applications
• Medical Imaging (disease detection from X-rays, MRIs)
• Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving cars)
• Facial Recognition for security
• Retail analytics and inventory tracking
• Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Challenges & Limitations
• High computational cost for real-time CV
• Bias in facial recognition systems
• Data privacy concerns
• Generalizing across different lighting/angles/environments
Future Trends
• Real-time vision for robotics
• Explainable computer vision models
• Integration with IoT and smart cities
• Improved 3D understanding and AR experiences
Conclusion
• Computer Vision continues to evolve and will
play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI.
