Computer Vision

Overview

Computer vision enables machines to understand visual information from images and videos, powering applications like autonomous driving, medical imaging, and surveillance.

When to Use

• Image classification and object recognition tasks
• Object detection and localization in images
• Semantic or instance segmentation projects
• Pose estimation and human activity recognition
• Face recognition and biometric systems
• Medical imaging analysis and diagnostics

Computer Vision Tasks

• Image Classification: Categorizing images into classes
• Object Detection: Locating and classifying objects in images
• Semantic Segmentation: Pixel-level classification
• Instance Segmentation: Detecting individual object instances
• Pose Estimation: Identifying human body joints
• Face Recognition: Identifying individuals in images

Popular Architectures

• Classification: ResNet, VGG, EfficientNet, Vision Transformer
• Detection: YOLO, Faster R-CNN, SSD, RetinaNet
• Segmentation: U-Net, DeepLab, Mask R-CNN
• Pose: OpenPose, PoseNet, HRNet
