Computer Vision

Lec 01
What is Computer Vision
● Study of visual Data
● Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables
computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital
images, videos and other visual inputs — and take actions or make
recommendations based on that information.
How does Computer Vision Work?
Here is a step by step breakdown of how it works:
Model Training: Machine learning algorithms are used to teach the computer
how to recognize patterns in the data
Input Image Acquisition: Input images are the source of the data. They can
be captured using cameras, drones, satellites etc.
Image Processing: Once the images are acquired, they need to be
pre-processed. This involves tasks such as image enhancement, noise
removal, image segmentation, etc.
How does Computer Vision Work?
Feature Extraction: Features are the characteristics of the objects in the images
which are extracted and used for further analysis.
Features can be color, size, shape, texture, etc.

Pattern Recognition: The extracted features are then used to recognize patterns
in the data.

Interpretation: Once the objects have been identified, the data can then be
interpreted to make sense of the scene and draw conclusions.

Applications

Image Morphing:
Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that
changes (or morphs) one image or shape into another through a
seamless transition.
Advantage of Computer Vision
Automation
Automating processes with computer vision can help businesses increase
efficiency and accuracy.

Faster Analysis
Process images faster than humans, resulting in faster analysis of data.

Improved Accuracy
Algorithms can identify and classify objects with accuracy at or above
human levels.
Advantage of Computer Vision
Detect Duplicates and Defects
Identify duplicates and defects quickly and accurately, reducing
errors.
Disaster Recovery
Recover data from damaged or corrupted images.
Improved Security
Identify and analyze people, places, and objects to improve
security.
In this Course
We will focus on visual recognition problems
1. Image classification (categorizing an input image into predefined classes)
2. Object Detection (locate and then draw bounding box)
3. Image Segmentation (dividing an image into distinct and meaningful regions
based on the pixels)
4. Face Recognition (identification of individuals by analyzing and comparing
unique facial features)
5. Human Pose Estimation (detecting and locating key points (joints) on a
person's body)
6. Generative Adversarial Network (trained adversarially to generate realistic
data)
