Computer Vision is one of the leading technological advances in our recent history. But what is Computer Vision? What can this technology do for us? Is this technology safe? And how do you teach a machine to interpret what you see? Many questions, and all of them pertinent.
Starting with the most basic, Computer Vision, as its name tells us, treats a technology that is capable of teaching computers to see (through certain hardware), interpret what they see, and take actions according to their interpretation.
This capability is what makes Computer Vision a very important technology in helping the digital transformation of companies. If, for example, if you check out our products, you can see that only in transport and logistics, Computer Vision allows for a particularly important digital evolution.
What is Computer Vision?
In practical terms, we have already seen what it is about: “… a technology that is capable of teaching computers to see, interpret and take action autonomously…”.
Computer Vision is directly related to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. These are the ones that enable this technology to identify and replicate various functions of human vision. Through Computer Vision, you can teach a computer to view and understand an image or video, to later extract information from that analysis.
At the limit, Computer Vision can be even more accurate than the human eye, since it can identify details that, to the human eye, could go unnoticed.
What is Computer Vision capable of doing?
As we’ve seen, Computer Vision is able to extract common features from the images or videos it analyzes. The goal is to enable the detection of patterns that allow the identification and classification of specific items, such as objects, faces or animals. But not only that!
Let’s look at some of our products, and let’s see how they use Computer Vision to automate processes from various areas of expertise:
PLATE.VISION – Much more than an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) License Plate Identifier is real-time vehicle identification software (License Plate, Vehicle Identification Number, Brand and Color, etc.). It can be used, for example, in the supervision of refuelling at fuel filling stations or in car parks, in the authorisation, monitoring and control of vehicle access. See all case studies here.
CHECKPOINT.VISION – It is a computer-operated system, directed to logistics and transport of raw materials, which allows the control of cargo that allows the recognition of objects, as well as the control and verification of cargo transport. See all case studies here.
AID.VISION – It is an automatic incident detection solution on roads powered by AI systems that automatically detects various types of incidents and triggers real-time alerts to an operations center. See all case studies here.
