Computer vision is a broad field that encompasses several subfields, each focused on different aspects of how computers interpret visual data. One of the key subfields is object detection, which involves identifying and locating objects within images or video streams. This is widely used in applications like facial recognition, self-driving cars, and industrial inspection. Another important subfield is image segmentation, where the goal is to partition an image into meaningful segments or regions. This is crucial for tasks such as medical image analysis, where precise identification of regions (e.g., tumors) is necessary. Semantic segmentation, a specific type of image segmentation, aims to label each pixel in an image with a class label, while instance segmentation goes a step further by distinguishing between different objects of the same class. Other subfields include optical flow (tracking movement between consecutive frames), 3D vision (understanding depth and spatial relationships), and visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), which is used for robotics and augmented reality. Additionally, there’s interest in image generation through generative adversarial networks (GANs) and multimodal learning, where vision systems are integrated with other data types like audio or text.
