What is the difference between computer vision and image processing?

The question is about computer vision

Answer

While computer vision and image processing are related fields, they have distinct objectives. Image processing focuses on enhancing and manipulating images to improve their quality or extract specific information. It involves techniques like filtering, resizing, and color adjustment. Computer vision, on the other hand, aims to interpret and understand visual data, enabling machines to perform tasks that mimic human vision. It builds on image processing techniques to analyze and make decisions based on visual input. In essence, image processing is a tool used within the broader scope of computer vision.
