Introduction to Computer Vision

Computer vision is a branch in the Domain of AI that enables computers to analyze


meaningful information from images, videos, and other visual inputs.

Computer vision is the same as the human eye. It enables us to see-through images or
visual data, process and analyze them on the basis of algorithms and methods in order
to analyze actual phenomena with images.

Applications of Computer Vision

This decade and the upcoming one can witness a significant leap in technology that has
put computer vision on the priority list. Some common uses of Computer Vision are:

Facial recognition:

The most frequently used technology is smartphones. It is a technology to remember


and verify a person, object, etc from the visuals from the given pre-defined data. Such
kinds of mechanics are often used for security and safety purposes.

For eg: Face security lock-in devices and traffic cameras are some examples using
facial recognition.

Facial filters:

Modern days social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram use such kinds of
technology that extract facial landmarks and process them using AI to get the best
result

Goggle lens:
To search data, Google uses Computer vision for capturing and analyzing different
features of the input image to the database of images and then gives us the search.
Automotive:

The machinery in industries is now using Computer vision. Automated cars are
equipped with sensors and software which can detect the 360 degrees of movements,
determine the location, detect objects and establish the depth or dimensions of the
virtual world.

For eg: Companies like Tesla are now interested in developing self-driving cars

Medical Imaging:

For the last decades, computer vision medical imaging application has been a
trustworthy help for physicians and doctors. It creates and analyzes images and helps
doctors with their interpretation.​
The application is used to read and convert 2D scan images into interactive 3D models.

Computer Vision Tasks

The Application of the computer is performed by certain tasks on the data or input
provided by the user so it can process and analyze the situation and predict the
outcome.
Basics of Images
The word “pixel” means a picture element.

Pixels
●​ Pixels are the fundamental element of a photograph.
●​ They are the smallest unit of information that make up a picture.
●​ They are typically arranged in a 2-dimensional grid.
●​ In general terms, The more pixels you have, the more closely the image
resembles the original.

Resolution
●​ The number of pixels covered in an image is sometimes called the resolution
●​ Term for area covered by the pixels in conventionally known as resolution.
●​ For eg :1080 x 720 pixels is a resolution giving numbers of pixels in width and
height of that picture.
●​ A megapixel is a million pixels

Pixel value
●​ Pixel value represents the brightness of the pixel.
●​ The range of a pixel value in 0-255(2^8-1)
●​ where 0 is taken as Black or no colour and 255 is taken as white

Why do pixel values have numbers?

Computer systems only work in the form of ones and zeros or binary systems. Each bit
in a computer system can have either a zero or a one. Each pixel uses 1 byte of an
image; each bit can have two possible values which tells us that the 8 bit can have 255
possibilities of values that start from 0 and end at 255.

Grayscale Images
●​ Grayscale images are images which have a range of shades of gray without
apparent colour. The lightest shade is white total presence of colour or 255 and
darkest colour is black at 0.
●​ Intermediate shades of gray have equal brightness levels of the three primary
colours RGB.
●​ The computers store the images we see in the form of these numbers.
RGB colors
●​ All the coloured images are made up of three primary colours Red, Green and
Blue.
●​ All the other colors are formed by using these primary colours at different
proportions.
●​ Computer stores RGB Images in three different channels called the R channel, G
channel and the B channel.
