What is computer vision?

- Computer vision is a field of AI that uses machine learning and neural networks to help computers extract meaningful information from images, videos, and other visual data sources. Computer vision has use cases across almost all industries, delivering solutions such as object detection, facial recognition, object tracking, content retrieval, and much more. And let me say this yet again. Computer vision is another data hungry application. The computers process images the same way you would process a jigsaw puzzle, but instead of being given the final picture on top of the box, it is often given hundreds and thousands of related images to find something similar and to learn from those images. Let's discuss some of the main reasons why computer vision has such a high resource consumption. Computer vision models work with high dimensionality of the input data. Each image and video can have millions of pixels, and you're trying to find relationships and make sense of the different color…
