Computer Vision in AI - Facts to think about

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the buzzword of this decade. Google, Facebook, Twitter and IBM are acquiring companies and people as fast as they can. Computer Vision is one of the core focus areas. Vision is perhaps one of the most difficult problems to solve in AI, and as you might have guessed, it is currently unsolved. Neural Networks, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have become very popular. Almost everyone (except a few companies like Vicarious) is using CNN's for Image recognition. From last few years, Stanford hosts the "ImageNet" challenge for visual recognition.
