Computer Vision
A field of AI that trains computers to interpret and process visual information from the world, such as images and videos.
Definition
Combines image processing, deep learning (e.g., CNNs), and sometimes 3D reconstruction to detect, classify, and track objects or scenes. Governance concerns include ensuring datasets cover diverse conditions (lighting, angles), preventing misuse (e.g., unauthorized surveillance), and verifying model performance across demographic groups.
Real-World Example
A retail chain uses computer vision cameras to track shelf inventory in real time. The system flags low-stock items, triggers restocking alerts, and logs all video snapshots for auditability—ensuring accuracy across varied lighting and shelf layouts.
