Computer Vision - Deep Learning Dictionary

The field of computer vision is one particular field in which the application of artificial neural networks has been both extremely popular and proven to work extremely well.

Computer vision (CV) is involved with enabling machines with the ability to understand and work with visual data, like digital images and video. We can generally think about this task as giving a computer the ability to have a visual system similar to that of humans, or enabling machines to see.

As we've all come to understand by now, data is an asset, both personally, and to companies. We now have loads of digital image and video data uploaded to the web everyday. To make use of it, we must analyze and process it. Having humans manually do all the analyzing and processing would not only be tedious and inefficient, but also impossible!

Computer vision is used greatly to automate various aspects of the analysis and processing of digital visual data.

Image classification, object detection, image segmentation, image generation are just some of the tasks that fall into the category of computer vision and have made great strides through the use and application of deep learning.
