COMPUTER VISION
1. What is Computer Vision?
Computer vision is a branch in the Domain of AI that enables computers to analyze meaningful information from
images, videos, and other visual inputs.
2. Applications of Computer Vision
Facial recognition

The most frequently used technology is smartphones. It is a technology to remember and verify a person,
object, etc from the visuals from the given pre-defined data. Such kinds of mechanics are often used for
security and safety purposes.

For eg: Face security lock-in devices and traffic cameras are some examples using facial recognition.
Facial filters

Modern days social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram use such kinds of technology that extract facial
landmarks and process them using AI to get the best result
Goggle lens

To search data, Google uses Computer vision for capturing and analyzing different features of the input
image to the database of images and then gives us the search.
Automotive

The machinery in industries is now using Computer vision. Automated cars are equipped with sensors and
software which can detect the 360 degrees of movements determine the location, detect objects and establish
the depth or dimensions of the virtual world.

For eg: Companies like Tesla are now interested in developing self-driving cars
Medical Imaging

For the last decades, computer vision medical imaging application has been a trustworthy help for
physicians and doctors. It creates and analyzes images and helps doctors with their interpretation.
The application is used to read and convert 2D scan images into interactive 3D models.
3. Computer Vision Tasks
The Application of the computer is performed by certain tasks on the data or input provided by the user
so it can process and analyze the situation and predict the outcome.

4. Basics of Images
The word “pixel” means a picture element.

Pixels

 Pixels are the fundamental element of a photograph.


 They are the smallest unit of information that make up a picture.
 They aretypically arranged in a 2-dimensional grid.

 In genral term, The more pixels you have, the more closely the image resembles the
original.
Resolution

 The number of pixels covered in an image is sometimes called the resolution


 Term for area covered by the pixels in covectionally known as resolution.
 For eg :1080 x 720 pixels is a resolution giving numbers of pixels in width and height of
that picture.
 A megapixel is a million pixels
Pixel value

 Pixel value represent the brightness of the pixel.


 The range of a pixel value in 0-255(2^8-1)
 where 0 is taken as Black or no colour and 255 is taken as white
5.
Why do pixel values have numbers?

Computer systems only work in the form of ones and zeros or binary systems.
Each bit in a computer system can have either a zero or a one. Each pixel uses
1 byte of an image each bit can have two possible values which tells us that the
8 bit can have 255 possibilities of values that start from 0 and ends at 255.
6. Grayscale Images

 Grayscale images are images which have a range of shades of gray without apparent
colour. The lightest shade is white total presence of colour or 255 and darkest colour is
black at 0.
 Intermerdiate shades of gray have equal brightness levels of the three primary colours
RBG.
 The computers store the images we see in the form of these numbers.

7. RGB IMAGES

RBG colurs

 All the coloured images are made up of three primary colours Red, Green and Blue.
 All the other colour are formed by using these primary colours at different proportions.
 Computer stores RGB Images in three different channels called the R channel, G
channel and the B channel.
Image Features

 A feature is a description of an image.


 Features are the specific structures in the image such as points, edges or objects.
 Other examples of features are related to tasks of CV motion in image sequences, or to
shapes defined in terms of curves or boundaries between different image regions.

OpenCV or Open Source Computer Vision Library is that tool that helps a
computer to extract these features from the images. It is capable
2
of processing images and videos to identify objects, faces, or even
handwriting.
