Computer Vision
• Can analyses images and videos to produce the desired
results in real time
• Computer vision is a branch of artificial intelligence that
enables computers to see and identify images,
processing them as humans would.
• Using images from cameras and videos, deep learning
models enable machines to accurately identify and
classify the objects.

How Does Computer Vision
Work?
• computer vision is a more high-level process. It deals
with the analysis of an image.
• the input is an image while the output is the
interpretation of an image.
• Computer vision works by identifying different
components in the image.

Essential – 5 stages
1. image acuquistion – digitization
2 .Signal Processing
3. edge detection
4. Object recognition (pattern matching)
5. Image understanding

Components are then analysed.
• A simple application sees computer vision identifying the
edges in an image.
• Computer vision enables pattern recognition or shapes
to be identified.
• More advanced applications allow for animals or people
to be recognised.

What are Computer Vision
Applications?
• Applications of computer vision range from automation in
self-driving vehicles to developing accurate
• facial recognition software to inspecting bottles in a
manufacturing production line to controlling robots, to
organizing information for example indexing databases
of images.
• China using face recognition systems

Other areas
• Augmented and mixed reality technologies are
increasingly being implemented in smartphones and
tablets.
• Additionally, smart glasses are also becoming more
widely available.
• All of this requires computer vision to help determine the
location, detect objects and establish the depth or
dimensions of the virtual world.

Computer Vision & Image
Processing
• Using both in retail healthcare and many other industries
has delivered positive results
• These technologies can evolve business operations that
include visual aspect.
• These technologies can simply business process like
quality control , inventory management and medical
imaging
• But companies must be aware of their difference to use
them wisely
Module Code and Module Title Title of Slides Slide ‹#› of 13
Computer vision in these 3 industries
• Applications of computer vision range from helping in
medical diagnostics and inspecting products for quality
control to optimizing crop yields and monitoring livestock
health, showcasing the promise of the technology.
• Computer vision includes three steps –
1.capturing images/videos in real-time,
2 .processing the acquired content machine learning
3 . taking actions based on processing results

Computer vision plays an important role in facial recognition,
cashierless stores, inventory visibility, and visual search, four vital
areas retailers are already putting the technology to work in.
The Go stores use a mix of next-gen technology, with computer vision
at the forefront, to track customer movement in the store (thanks to
hundreds of camera strategically placed throughout) and recognize
when a product is selected and charge the customer’s account when
they exit the store.

Retailer - 2
• Savvy retailers are turning to robotics powered by
computer vision technology to take over mundane store
monitoring tasks.
• By deploying robots at the store level tasked with
scanning shelves for both inventory and product
compliance retailers can not only free up associates for
customer-facing tasks, but they can greatly improve
inventory accuracy.

Conclusion Retailer
• As retailers search for solutions to blur the lines between
physical and digital retail, computer vision fits the bill. In
addition, whether it’s in self-driving vehicles making
deliveries, robots taking inventories,
• AI-driven security scans, or robots frying up tater tots to
help humans avoid hot oil injuries, computer vision is an
essential part of digitizing the retail workforce as well.

Healthcare
• Digital technology helps the healthcare industry to
precisely diagnose and treat diseases, helping patients
to recover quickly. One such technology, computer
vision, is set to revolutionize the way hospitals have
been diagnosing and treating their patients

Is computer vision really AI?
• ability to learn : YES - some systems are able to improve their
recognition capability with time - the more "trees" they see examples
of, the more likely they are to recognise another "tree" in the future;
• use of language : NO
• vision : obviously YES!
• problem solving : NO - although the purpose of vision systems is to
make it possible for computer systems to operate in problem-solving
environments independently of humans;
• adapting to new situations : YES - the ideal vision system would be
able to cope with completely unfamiliar scenes, just as the human
eye and brain can.
