Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see.As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory and technology for building artificial systems that obtain information from images. The image data can take many forms, such as a video sequence, views from multiple cameras, or multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner. As a technological discipline, computer vision seeks to apply the theories and models of computer vision to the construction of
computer vision systems. Examples of applications of computer vision systems include systems forControlling processes (e.g. an
industrial robot or an
autonomous vehicle).Detecting events (e.g. for visual surveillance)Organizing information (e.g. for indexing databases of images and image sequences),Modeling objects or environments (e.g. industrial inspection, medical image analysis or topographical modeling),Interaction (e.g. as the input to a device for
computer-human interaction).
