One of the interesting areas where computer vision is being explored is the video streaming platform. Video streaming has become one of the most important fields in the last decade, especially with the lockdown that has resulted in an increased viewership on these platforms than ever before.
To boost the user experience a lot of these companies are using computer vision (CV). Addressing the attendees at CVDC 2020 Anubhav Shrivastava, head of Data Sciences at Voot Viacom18 shared some of the ways that Voot is using computer vision.
Computer Vision Has Gained Traction Over The Years
Shrivastava shared that the area of computer vision has been evolving over the years and has drastically seen an increase in applications with time. He defined CV as the field of study of developing techniques to help machines see, interpret and create visuals.
Some of the common application areas of computer vision include surveillance, biometrics, heat maps, checkouts, facial recognition, medical imaging, remote sensing, 3D model building, intelligent image processing and more. Some of the methods in computer vision that are most popularly used are object detection, image classification, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, deep tracking, GANs and more.
