INTRODUCTION
In today’s digital world, computers are learning to ‘see’
and ‘understand’ images just like humans. But how do
they do it? This fascinating journey involves two key
fields: Computer Vision and Image Processing. While
they may sound similar, they have distinct roles in the
world of technology. Computer vision (CV) and image
processing are two closely related fields that utilize
techniques from artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern
recognition to derive meaningful information from
images, videos, and other visual inputs. Image
processing is at the helm of the technical revolution
that is being called Industry 4.0.
What is Computer Vision?
Teaching Computers to Interpret
Images:-
Computer and Vision as the name suggest we are enabling a
Computer / Machine to have visual capacity. Computer
vision is a field of computer science that focuses on
enabling computers to identify and understand objects and
people in images and videos.
Computer vision combines cameras, edge- or cloud-based
computing, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) to
enable systems to “see” and identify objects. The concept of
computer vision is based on teaching computers to process
an image at a pixel level and understand it.
What is Image Processing?
The Art of Beautifying Images:-
Image Processing is a step that analyses the Image and
processes it digitally before we can provide input to a
Model.
Image processing is a way to convert an image to a digital
aspect and perform certain mathematical functions on it, to
get an enhanced image or extract other useful information
from it.
Image processing is a way by which an individual can
enhance the quality of an image or gather alerting insights
from an image and feed it to an algorithm to predict the
later things.
TECHNIQUES and
TOOLS
Computer Vision Techniques and
Tools:-
Computer Vision, on the other hand, employs a different set
of methodologies:
✓ Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms such
as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are pivotal
for tasks like image classification and object recognition.
✓ Pattern Recognition Tools are used to identify and
classify objects within an image, essential for
applications like facial recognition.
TECHNIQUES and
TOOLS
Image Processing Techniques and
Tools:-
In image processing, the toolkit includes a range of software
and algorithms specifically designed for modifying images. This
includes:
✓ Software like Photoshop and GIMP, for manual edits such
as retouching and resizing.
✓ Algorithms for automated tasks like histogram equalization
for contrast adjustment and filters for noise reduction and
edge enhancement.
APPLICATIONS
✓ Medical Imaging: Image processing enhances medical scans for
clarity, which are then analyzed by computer vision to detect
abnormalities, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment planning.
✓ Autonomous Vehicles: Utilize image processing for clear visual
input, which is essential for computer vision systems to accurately
identify and react to road signs, pedestrians, and other vehicles.
✓ Security Systems: Image processing improves image quality from
cameras, aiding computer vision in accurately recognizing faces or
suspicious activities and enhancing security measures.
✓ Film and Gaming: Image processing is used for visual effects,
while computer vision contributes to interactive experiences, like
augmented reality games.
CONCLUSION
Computer Vision and Image Processing, though distinct in
their goals and techniques, are interconnected fields that play a
pivotal role in the advancement of modern technology. Image
processing sets the stage by enhancing and transforming
images, which are then interpreted and understood through
computer vision. Together, they are revolutionizing industries
such as healthcare, automotive, surveillance, and
entertainment, driving innovation and opening new frontiers
in technology.
Understanding these fields and their interplay is crucial for
anyone looking to engage with the latest in tech development
and application.
