VISION
Computer Vision
is a field of artificial intelligence that trains
computers to interpret and understand the visual
world. Using digital images from cameras and
videos and deep learning models, machines can
accurately identify and classify objects and then
react to what they “see.”
History of Computer Vision
Early experiments in computer vision took place in the
1950s, using some of the first neural networks to detect
the edges of an object and to sort simple objects into
categories like circles and squares. In the 1970s, the
first commercial use of computer vision interpreted
typed or handwritten text using optical character
recognition. This advancement was used to interpret
written text for the blind.
Computer Vision is very important, in today’s
world where, every industry is trying to improvise
their systems, make them more streamlined,
What computer vision is used for?
Computer vision is a powerful capability and it
can be combined with many types of applications
and sensing devices to support a number of
practical use cases. Here are just a few different
types of computer vision applications:
Face recognition

Computer vision
can be applied to
identify
individuals.
Healthcare

Photos or images captured by

other medical devices can be
analyzed to provide to help
doctors identify problems and
make diagnoses more quickly
and accurately.
Autonomous vehicles

Self-driving cars use real-

time object identification
and tracking to gather
information about what's
happening around a car and
route the car accordingly.
Spatial analysis

The system identifies

people or objects, such
as cars, in a space and
tracks their movement
within that space.
Agriculture

Images of crops taken

from satellites, drones, or
planes can be analyzed to
monitor harvests, detect
weed emergence or
identify crop nutrient
deficiency.
Advantage and Disadvantages
of Computer Vision
Advantage
Faster and simpler process - Computer vision
systems can carry out repetitive and monotonous
tasks at a faster rate, which simplifies the work for
humans.

Better products and services - Computer vision

systems that have been trained very well will
commit zero mistakes. This will result in faster
delivery of high-quality products and services.
Cost-reduction - Companies do not have to
spend money on fixing their flawed
processes because computer vision will
leave no room for faulty products and
services.
New Possibilities – With computer vision, there are
countless new possibilities for innovation and creativity.
For example, computer vision can be used to develop new
forms of art or entertainment, or to create new tools and
applications that we can’t even imagine yet.
Disadvantage
Limited Context Awareness – While computers are great at
analyzing visual data, they often struggle to interpret
context or make sense of information beyond what is
directly in front of them. This can lead to errors or
inaccuracies in certain situations.
Privacy Concerns – As computer vision becomes more
prevalent, there are growing concerns about privacy and
surveillance. For example, some worry that computer
vision systems could be used to track people’s movements
or behaviors without their consent.
Bias and Inaccuracy – Like any technology,
computer vision systems are only as good as
the data they are trained on. If the data is
biased or incomplete, the system may produce
inaccurate or unfair results.
Dependence on Infrastructure – Computer vision
systems often rely on complex infrastructure like
cameras, sensors, and networks. If this
infrastructure is compromised or disrupted, the
system may not function properly.
