The primary goal of computer vision is to enable machines to interpret and understand the visual world. This includes tasks like recognizing objects, understanding scenes, identifying patterns, and making informed decisions based on visual data. Computer vision aims to bridge the gap between how humans perceive the world and how machines can process similar data. For instance, in autonomous vehicles, computer vision helps cars “see” the environment and recognize objects like pedestrians, other vehicles, and traffic signs. In medical imaging, computer vision can be used to analyze X-rays or MRIs to detect diseases like tumors or fractures. In all cases, the goal is to automate visual perception and decision-making, often using techniques like deep learning to improve accuracy and adaptability over time. As these systems evolve, the goal expands beyond simple recognition to more complex tasks like scene interpretation, 3D reconstruction, and real-time interaction with the environment.
