Computer vision plays a vital role in autonomous vehicles by enabling the vehicle to understand its environment through cameras and sensors. These systems process real-time visual data to detect and identify objects such as pedestrians, other vehicles, road signs, and lane markings. Through image processing techniques and AI algorithms, the vehicle can perceive its surroundings and make decisions in real-time. For example, object detection algorithms allow the car to identify a pedestrian crossing the road or to recognize traffic signs indicating speed limits. Additionally, semantic segmentation techniques are used to differentiate between road surfaces, sidewalks, and obstacles. The combination of computer vision with AI-powered decision-making enables autonomous vehicles to navigate safely and make intelligent driving decisions, minimizing the risk of accidents. These systems also rely on data from radar and LiDAR sensors, which complement visual data to improve the vehicle’s overall understanding of its environment, making computer vision an essential component in the development of self-driving technology.
