Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on enabling computers to interpret and understand visual information from the real world. It involves developing algorithms and techniques for machines to perceive, analyze, and make decisions based on images or videos. Computer vision has a wide range of applications, including facial recognition, object detection, autonomous vehicles, medical image analysis, and augmented reality. The goal of computer vision research is to mimic human vision and improve the capabilities of machines to process visual information accurately and efficiently.
