Computer vision can be defined as 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.”

Computer vision is an interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers can gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos.

In today’s world computer vision is very useful in many fields such as — :

*_ Inventory management — : _**In the case of inventory management, the applications can be in the field of security camera image analysis where a computer vision algorithm can generate a very accurate estimate of the items available in the store. Another field can be Analyzing the use of shelf space to identify suboptimal configurations.

* **Manufacturing — : **In the Field of manufacturing Computer vision can help in **predictive maintenance **of the machines.

*** Healthcare — : In the field of healthcare computer Vision can be used in medical image analysis.** Images from CT scans and X-rays are analyzed to find anomalies such as tumors or search for signs of neurological illnesses.

* **Autonomous vehicles — : **The field of computer vision plays a central role in the domain of autonomous vehicles since it allows them to perceive and understand the environment around them in order to operate correctly. One of the most exciting challenges in computer vision is object detection in images and videos. This involves locating a varying number of objects and the ability to classify them, in order to distinguish if an object is a traffic light, a car, or a person, as in the video below.
