What is Computer Vision
Explanation
Computer vision is the research area that allows computers to perform functions corresponding to human vision, mainly dealing with images and videos. The conferences specialized in computer vision include ICCV (International Conference on Computer Vision), ECCV (European Conference on Computer Vision), and CVPR (Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition). The problems primarily handled in computer vision can be classified into three major categories, as shown in the picture below.
Classification It deals with the problem of classifying what kind of subject an image is.
Object Detection It deals with the problem of detecting specific subjects within a given image.
Segmentation It deals with the problem of dividing an image into areas that have different meanings.
