Tech Viewpoint: Three Ways Computer Vision is Transforming the Store Chain Store Age

One of the more interesting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to gain popularity in retail is computer vision. Computer vision solutions automate the process of collecting digital images and analyzing them at an in-depth level to inform decision-making. Essentially, computer vision allows a machine to "see" things and events, make judgments and react accordingly in the same way a human does. Computer vision is having a profound effect on almost every major industry, with retail no exception. In particular, retailers are finding that computer vision solutions are crucial components of the seamlessly blended digital-physical store experience customers seek.
