Frequently asked questions about Computer Vision
Computer vision is a form of artificial intelligence in which computers and systems extract and understand information from digital images and videos.
It involves teaching computers to see and observe. You gather information from pixels, so to speak. Ultimately, computers convert that visual information into making decisions and taking actions.
So with Computer Vision, you process, understand and act on digital visual content at lightning speed and in an automated way.
In a nutshell, Computer Vision requires a camera, software and data. A lot of data.
Computer Vision leans on data. Data you obtain with a camera with which you capture images or videos.
Using software, you analyse the images and extract relevant information.
Underlying the software is an algorithm model. An algorithm allows the model to be self-learning from a context of visual data.
In other words, if you feed the model enough images then the algorithm teaches the model to eventually distinguish and understand images entirely independently.
Simply put, there are cameras and sensors that see what the human eye can perceive, and more. For instance, firstly, you can easily detect objects, measure distances, perceive numbers, thicknesses and colours, as well as recognise fractures. Then there are cameras and vision sensors that contain components beyond human perception. Think invisible UV markers and infrared. So for Computer Vision, all kinds of vision sensors are possible to achieve the right imaging.
