Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that uses computer hardware and software to analyze visual images and videos. The goal is to make useful decisions based on sensed images by understanding objects and scenes. Computer vision combines knowledge from fields like computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, biology and cognitive science. It focuses on extracting useful information from images like detecting and identifying faces, recovering 3D geometry, and tracking motion. Computer vision has applications in manufacturing, city planning, entertainment, forensics and more.

3. What is computer vesion
Definition:
The goal of computer vesion is to make useful decisions about real physical objects
and scenes based on sensed images.Or
Computer vision is a subfield of artificial intelligence where information is obtained
through the characteristics of images captured by industrial cameras. Below, there are
some of the techniques and applications performed at ITMA.

4.  Computer vision (image understanding) is a discipline that studies
how to reconstruct, interpret and understand a 3D scene from its 2D
images in terms of the properties of the structures present in the scene.
 The ultimate goal of computer vision is to model and replicate human
vision
 using computer software and hardware at diferent levels.
 It combines knowledge in computer science,electrical engineering,
mathematics, physiology, biology, and cognitive science.
 It needs knowledge from all these fields in order to understand and
simulate the operation of the human vision system.
 that focuses on extracting useful information from images and videos.
Examples of "useful information" include detecting the presence and
identify of human faces in a photograph, recovering the 3D geometry of
the objects in a photograph, and tracking and recognizing different
types of motion in a video sequence.
 Computer vision algorithms have found a wide range of applications
from 3D laser scanning systems used in manufacturing, city planning,
entertainment, forensics, etc

5. Computer vision overlaps significantly with the following fields:
Image processing.
 Image processing focuses on image manipulation to enhance image
 quality,
 to restore an image or to compress/decompress an image.
 Most computer vision algorithms usually assumes a significant
 amount of image processing has taken place to improve image
 quality.
pattern recognition,
 Pattern recognition studies various techniques such as
 statistical techniques,
 neural network,
 support vector machine, etc
 to recognize/classify di erent patterns. Pattern recognition techniquesff
 are widely used in computer vision.
photogrammetry.
 Photogrammetry is concerned with obtaining accurate and reliable
 measurements from images.
 It focuses on accurate mensuration.
 Camera calibration and 3D reconstruction are two areas of interest to
 both.

6. Relation of Computer Vision

7. Computer Vision Hierarchy
• Low-level vision: process image for feature extraction (edge,
corner, or optical flow).
• Middle-level vision: object recognition, motion analysis, and 3D
• reconstruction using features obtained from the low-level vision.
• High-level vision: interpretation of the evolving information
• provided by the middle level vision as well as directing what
• middle and low level vision tasks should be performed.
• Interpretation may include conceptual description of a scene
• like activity, intention and behavior.
• we focus mainly on middle level and some low level.

10. How the Afghan Girl was Identified by Her Iris Patterns
Sign of War and poverty
Sharbat Gula was the girl who had been photographed 17 years
earlier in 1985, the EXPLORER team obtained verification through
iris-scanning technology and face-recognition techniques used by
the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.she again recognized by
iris patttern in 2002 after long search
she caught agian in pakistan some days before during NIC verifaction3/21/2015

11. Example Applications
• Robotics
• Medicine
• Security
• Transportation
• Industrial automation
• Image/video databases
• Human Computer Interface
• Localization-determine robot location automatically (e.g.
• Vision-based GPS)
• Obstacles avoidance
• Navigation and visual servoing
• Assembly (peg-in-hole, welding, painting)
• Manipulation (e.g. PUMA robot manipulator)
• Human Robot Interaction (HRI): Intelligent robotics to
• interact with and serve people
• Biometrics (iris, finger print, face recognition)
• Surveillance-detecting certain suspicious activities or behaviors
