A Beginner's Guide To Computer Vision

Before we dive into the various CV techniques, let's explore the human body part that computer vision is trying to emulate in terms of functionality. Most humans don't give much thought to vision; it's a bodily function that automatically works with little to no deliberate influence. The human vision sensory system has developed over thousands of years to provide humans with the ability to extrapolate scenery meaning and context from the light that is reflected by objects in our 3-dimensional world, into our eyes. Our eyes and brain can infer an understanding of environments from reflected light. Our visual system equips us with the ability to determine the distance of objects, predict the texture of objects without directly touching, and identify all sort of patterns and events within our environment.
