Computer vision and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) are related but distinct fields. Computer vision focuses on enabling machines to interpret and process visual data, while SLAM deals with building a map of an environment and tracking the position of a device within it. Computer vision tasks include object detection, recognition, and image segmentation. For example, it might identify pedestrians in a video feed. SLAM, however, is primarily concerned with spatial understanding, such as enabling a robot to navigate an unknown area by creating a map as it moves. While SLAM often uses computer vision techniques (e.g., visual odometry), it combines these with other sensor data, like LiDAR or IMU readings, for accuracy. SLAM is commonly used in robotics, AR/VR systems, and autonomous vehicles. Computer vision is broader and applies to a wider range of tasks.
