What is computer vision?

The question is about computer vision

Answer

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to interpret and process visual data from the world. It involves techniques to acquire, process, analyze, and understand images and videos, allowing machines to perform tasks that typically require human vision, such as object detection, facial recognition, and image classification. Computer vision combines knowledge from computer science, engineering, and neuroscience to create systems that can automate complex visual tasks, making it essential in industries like healthcare, automotive, and security.
