Making Machines See

Code 843, Class 12. Computer vision lets machines understand images. Here we learn how a computer sees a picture.

What this unit is about

Computer Vision is the part of AI that lets a machine understand images and video, the way our eyes and brain do.

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. The computer reads these numbers to understand the picture.

2. Finding features

The machine looks for features such as edges, shapes and patterns. A model called a neural network learns which features belong to which object.

3. Uses of computer vision

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

Practice set B, short answer

1. What is computer vision?

The part of AI that lets a machine understand images and video.

2. What is a pixel?

A tiny dot that makes up an image, with a colour.

3. Give two uses of computer vision.

Any two: face unlock, self-driving cars, reading text, checking products.

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) colour values. The machine finds features like edges and shapes, and a neural network learns which features belong to which object. Uses include face unlock, self-driving cars and reading text from images.
