Exploring computer vision
Computer vision began in the 1950s, evolving significantly with key milestones such as image processing algorithms in the 1960s and the introduction of GPUs in the 1990s. These advancements improved processing speeds and complex computations and enabled real-time image analysis and sophisticated models. Modern computer vision technology is a result of these developments. The following diagram shows where computer vision sits in terms of artificial intelligence:
Figure 14.1 – Artificial intelligence
Figure 14.1 shows a set of concentric circles representing the relationship between different fields of artificial intelligence. At the core is computer vision, surrounded by object detection, which is a subset of deep learning, something that’s nested within machine learning. All are encompassed by the broader field of artificial intelligence.
Not all computer vision techniques involve machine learning or deep learning...
