This document discusses computer vision and machine learning techniques for visual perception. It begins with an introduction to computer vision and how machines can be taught to understand the human perceived visual world. It describes challenges with visual perception like occlusions and noise. The bulk of the document then focuses on using deep learning approaches for computer vision tasks like activity recognition. It discusses challenges with activity recognition and concludes by considering how machine vision may continue to progress and impact the future if designed according to human visual perception and judgment.

It is quoted by Professor David Derkins from Harvard University: ‘’up to 90% of errors in thinking are in perception
When visual information is perceived or processed incorrectly, it cannot be matched or integrated with our other
senses.

For a machine which is capable
of thinking like a human, the
ultimate need is ;
Because it combines our visual perception
with our judgements.

So, for a machine what is “activity recognition” about?
17. #dfist #Devfest17
For machine easiest way to achieve “activity recognition” is copying
cognitive subprocess underlying our visual perception and judgements

What is Deep Learning?
Deep Learning is a subfield of machine learning concerned with
algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain called
artificial neural networks.

Calibration
We need to ensure that everybody sees
straight line straight and curvature as curve.

Activity Recognition Challenges
Human is a complex & complicated.
Activities are compositional.
Environment is unconstrained.
Context impact the level of detail.
Realtime happenings require high computation

Conclusion
•Machines are getting smarter, mobile and intractable
•We create them to involve our lives , so they will be following our rules.
•If only we design them according to human visual perception and judgements.
• Deep Learning is in-directly associated with human judgement.
•Deep learning can help us better defining activities and knowing about human s
•For a better future we need to convince Computer Scientists and AI Geeks :D
