What is Computer Vision?
The field of AI that enables computers to understand and interpret images and video.
Why It Matters
Computer vision powers applications from quality inspection in manufacturing to medical image analysis.
Real-World Example
An app that can photograph a plant and identify its species uses computer vision.
“Understanding terms like Computer Vision matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
