Computer Vision

Code 417, Class 10. Computer vision lets machines understand images. Here we learn how a computer sees a picture.

pixels

tiny dots

RGB

pixel colours

What this unit is about

Computer Vision is the domain of AI that lets a machine understand images and video.

1. How a computer sees

To a computer an image is a grid of tiny dots called pixels. Each pixel has a colour made of red, green and blue (RGB) values. A grayscale image uses shades of grey only.

2. Features and CNN

The machine looks for features like edges and shapes. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a model that learns these features to recognise objects in images.

3. Uses of computer vision

Computer vision is used for face unlock, self-driving cars, reading text from images, and checking products in factories.

Learning image features to recognise objects.

Quick summary

Computer vision lets machines understand images and video. To a computer, an image is a grid of pixels, each with red, green and blue (RGB) values; a grayscale image uses shades of grey. The machine finds features like edges, and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) learns these features to recognise objects. Uses include face unlock, self-driving cars and reading text.
