Computer Vision

The part of AI that lets computers understand images and video.

Computer vision recognises objects, faces, text and movement. It's used in phone cameras, self-driving research and tools that describe or edit photos.

Example

An app removes the background from your photo because it can “see” where you end and the background begins.
