I want to know what computer vision is and what are its real world applications.

Hi @athank_k,

 

Looking on google, this is a definition you can get:

Computer vision is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that equips machines with the ability to process, analyze and interpret visual inputs such as images and videos. It uses machine learning to help computers and other systems derive meaningful information from visual data.

 

You can find our global offer on AI on STM32 here:

GitHub - STMicroelectronics/STM32AI_Overall_Offer: This repo is the entry point to all other STM32 MCU/MPU AI-related GitHub repos.

 

There is a lot of application of computer vision. Any usecase that requires to treat a visual input:

  • autonomous driving
  • detect package in front of your door
  • recognize people
  • make a drone detect a person and follow it
  • make sure that manufactory employees have their security equipment (helmet, gloves etc)
  • Everything else you may think of

 

Have a good day,

Julian
