2. Computer Vision and its application
Computer vision is the field of study focused on enabling computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world around us, in much the same way that humans do.
Applications of computer vision include:
1. Surveillance and security: Computer vision is used extensively in security and surveillance systems to track and analyze movements of people, objects and vehicles in high risk areas.
2. Industrial automation: Computer vision can be used in manufacturing processes to detect defects in products, identify items on conveyor belts, or inspect packaging through cameras.
3. Medical imaging: Technologies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and X-ray imaging are being used in medical diagnosis to produce images of organs and tissue.
4. Autonomous vehicles: Application of computer vision in autonomous cars and drones, enabling them to perceive surroundings and navigate through roads or flight paths.
5. Augmented reality: Computer vision is used in augmented reality (AR) applications which augment and enhance our view of the real world by overlaying virtual information onto it.
6. Agriculture: Computer vision can be used in agriculture to monitor crop health, identify weeds, and analyze soil condition, helping farmers respond proactively to problems and optimize growth.
7. Gaming: The gaming industry uses computer vision for facial recognition and motion tracking to enable players to control a game through their body movements.
Overall, computer vision has a broad range of applications and its growth is rapidly expanding in various industries.
