GCP AI Fundamentals - AIML Series 7 - Computer Vision
What is Computer Vision? Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world, mimicking human vision. It uses machine learning and deep learning to process images and videos, performing tasks such as image classification, object detection, and image segmentation. History of Computer Vision: Early Beginnings: Computer vision began in the late 1950s with early image scanning technology and progressed significantly through the 1960s with the development of algorithms to transform 2D images into 3D forms ( IBM - United States ) ( Wikipedia ). Milestones: Key milestones include the introduction of optical character recognition (OCR) in the 1970s and the development of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the 1980s and 1990s ( IBM - United States ). Modern Era: The 2000s saw the rise of object recognition and real-time face recognition applications. The 2010s brought about significant improve
