Computer vision - Optical Character Recognition

Computer vision is the study and application of methods which allow computers to "understand" image content or content of multidimensional data in general. The term "understand" means here that specific information is being extracted from the image data for a specific purpose: either for presenting it to a human operator (e. g., if cancerous cells have been detected in a microscopy image), or for controlling some process (e. g., an industry robot or an autonomous vehicle). The image data that is fed into a computer vision system is of ...

The field of computer vision can be characterized as immature and diverse. Even though earlier work exists, it was not until the late 1970's that a more focused study of the field started when computers could manage the processing of large data sets such as images. However, these studies usually originated from various other fields, and consequently there is no standard formulation of the "computer vision problem". Also, and to an even larger extent, there is no standard formulation of how computer vision problems should be solved. Instead, ...

In the related fields machine vision and medical imaging, systems using computer vision techniques are sold in markets worth billions of US dollars per year. One interesting application of computer vision, commonly used in the creation of visual effects for cinema and broadcast, is camera tracking or matchmoving. Computer vision also finds its applications in medicine, military industry, security and surveillance, quality inspection, robo ...

A typical computer vision system can be divided in the following subsystems: Computer vision - Image acquisition. The image or image sequence is acquired with a imaging system (camera,radar,lidar,tomography system). Often the imaging system has to be calibrated before being used. Computer vision - Preprocessing. In the preprocessing step, the image is being treated with "low-level"-operations. The aim of this step is to do noise reduction on the image (i.e. to dissociate ...

Another way to describe computer vision is in terms of applications areas. One of the most prominent application fields is medical computer vision or medical image processing. This area is characterized by the extraction of information from image data for the purpose of making a medical diagnosis of a patient. Typically image data is in the form of microscopy images, X-ray images, angiography images, ultrasonic images, and tomography images. An example of information which can be extracted from such image data is detection of tumours, arteri ...

Computer vision - Object Recognition. Detecting the presence of known objects or living beings in an image, possibly together with estimating the pose of these objects. Examples: Searching in digital images for specific content (content-based image retrieval) Recognizing human faces and their location in images. Estimation of the three-dimensional pose of humans and their limbs Detection of objects which are passing through a manufacturing process, e.g., on a conveyor belt, and estimation of their po ...
