From the images or videos, you can move forward to…
do (program) image/ video analytics
• Counting particles or objects
• Measuring shapes
• Checking specific image areas
(objects under interest and the surrounding
areas) for the desired purposes
Then sends some feedback signals to
you (your system) to do some tasks
