Computer Vision

AI that can understand and analyze images and video.

In Plain English

Computer Vision is the field of AI that enables machines to interpret visual information from the world. This includes recognizing objects, faces, text, and scenes in images and video. Computer vision powers everything from photo organization on your phone to quality control in factories to self-driving cars.

💡Real-World Example

When Google Photos automatically groups all pictures of your dog together, or when your phone unlocks by recognizing your face, that's computer vision.
