A computer vision algorithm refers to a set of mathematical and computational techniques used to enable computers to interpret and understand visual data, such as images or video. These algorithms process visual information to perform tasks such as object recognition, feature matching, image segmentation, and motion detection. Some of the most commonly used computer vision algorithms include edge detection algorithms (e.g., Canny Edge Detector), which identify boundaries within images; feature extraction algorithms (e.g., SIFT and SURF), which extract distinctive points or features from an image for recognition or matching purposes; and object detection algorithms (e.g., Haar Cascades and YOLO), which locate and classify objects within images. For example, an object detection algorithm like YOLO (You Only Look Once) uses deep learning to recognize and label various objects (such as people, cars, or animals) in real-time video. These algorithms are essential for practical applications such as autonomous driving, facial recognition, and industrial automation, where understanding and processing visual information are critical for decision-making and automation.
