Computer Vision

computer vision, field of artificial intelligence in which programs attempt to identify objects represented in digitized images provided by cameras, thus enabling computers to “see.” Much work has been done on using deep learning and neural networks to help computers process visual information. Computers can be given a large data set of visual images and identify features and patterns within those images that the computers can then apply to other images. Such processes as facial recognition and augmented reality rely on computer vision. See also pattern recognition.
