How Computer Vision Is Disrupting Different Industries

Computer vision (CV) refers to the processes and technologies involved in helping machines "see" the world much like humans do by interpreting and understanding context. The difference between a machine and a human is that algorithms process information by transforming it into numerical models. Although CV originated in the late fifties, it has grown exponentially in the last decade due to increased computational power offered by cloud technologies, dedicated hardware, and more advancements. Computer vision has numerous applications; in healthcare, security, automotive, robotics, sports, and others. It's a market that is expected to reach close to $22 billion by 2026.
