Preferred term

computer vision  

Definition

  • Computer vision is a field whose goal is to take as input images or video streams and to extract useful information about the objects and surfaces in the scene that gave rise to the image or video. Humans employ vision to acquire knowledge about the external world and to guide a wide range of actions, and the grand objective of computer vision research is to provide machines with similar capabilities.
