A computer vision scientist should have a deep understanding of image processing, machine learning, and deep learning concepts. Proficiency in programming languages like Python or C++ and libraries like OpenCV, TensorFlow, and PyTorch is essential for developing and testing algorithms. Knowledge of mathematical concepts such as linear algebra, calculus, and probability is critical for understanding and designing vision models. Familiarity with datasets like ImageNet or COCO and expertise in handling annotations and preprocessing tasks are important. Additionally, staying updated with the latest research and trends in computer vision, such as transformers and multimodal AI, is crucial for innovation in the field.
