How it works
Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that aims to give computers the ability to 'see' and understand visual information from the world. It involves developing algorithms and models that can process and analyze images and videos to extract meaningful insights. This field is crucial for applications like self-driving cars, medical imaging, and robotics.
