How does computer vision technology work?

The question is about computer vision

Answer

Computer vision technology works by using algorithms and models to process and analyze visual data. It starts with image acquisition, where cameras or sensors capture images or video. These images are then processed using techniques like filtering and edge detection to extract important features. Machine learning models, often based on neural networks, are trained on large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions. By learning from labeled data, these models can identify objects, track movements, and interpret scenes, enabling applications like autonomous vehicles and medical imaging.
