Computer Vision: What Is It?

Artificial intelligence is all the buzz. A recent article by Jon Schuppe of NBC news asks if we are ready for police to use facial recognition software to track our every move. Well, ready or not, it's already starting to happen. The Maryland Image Repository System was used to identify the Annapolis Capital Gazette shooter. The shooter's image was captured on a security camera, and software was used to match that image to the repository, which includes driver's license photos as well as state and federal mug shots.
