Computer vision is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from the world. It uses algorithms and deep learning models to process images and videos, allowing systems to identify objects, recognize patterns, and make decisions based on visual input. This technology powers applications such as facial recognition, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and quality inspection in manufacturing. By mimicking human sight, computer vision helps automate complex visual tasks with high precision and speed. As models and computing power advance, computer vision continues to expand into areas like augmented reality, robotics, and real-time analytics.
