Computer Vision applications for the industry

This article gives an overview of the growth factors and drivers of computer vision, the market segments and leaders, and finally concludes with use cases that include the latest advancements in the construction industry, manufacturing industry, and healthcare. Computer Vision (CV) is a sub-field of artificial intelligence (AI) which consists in bringing human vision capability into computing systems. It deals with interpreting real-world scenarios which are captured by camera-enabled mobile devices in the form of images and videos. Some of the most commonly used computer vision-based applications are facial recognition, human-computer interface, gesture recognition, visual quality inspection of goods in manufacturing processes, in navigation for autonomous vehicles, medical image analysis, and image restoration. Despite big hype and the success of CV/AI, there remain, however, some challenges for the technology adoption in the industry.
