Introduction to Computer Vision
Computer vision is a branch in the Domain of AI that enables computers to analyze meaningful information from images, videos, and other visual inputs.
Computer vision is the same as the human eye, It enables us see-through images or visual data, process and analyzes them on the basis of algorithms and methods in order to analyze actual phenomena with images.

AI enables computers to think, and computer vision enables AI to see, observe and make sense of visual data (like images & videos).
Computer Vision
- Computer vision deals with extracting information from the input images or videos to infer meaningful information and understanding them to predict the visual input.
- Computer Vision is a superset of Image Processing.
- Examples – Object detection, Handwriting recognition, etc.
Image Processing
- Image processing is mainly focused on processing the raw input images to enhance them or preparing them to do other tasks.
- Image Processing is a subset of Computer Vision.
- Examples – Rescaling image, Correcting brightness, Changing tones, etc.
