HOW COMPUTER VISION WORKS
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that trains computers to interpret
and understand the visual world. Using digital images from cameras and videos
and deep learning models, machines can accurately identify and classify
objects — and then react to what they “see.”
Acquiring
Images, even
large sets, can be
acquired in real-
time through
video, photos or
3D technology for
analysis.
Processing
Deep learning
models, trained
by thousands of
labeled or pre-
identified
images,
automate the
process.
Understanding
The final step is
the
interpretative
step, where an
object is
identified or
classified.

EDGE ANALYTICS & EVENT STREAM PROCESSING
Analyze high-velocity big data while it’s still in motion
– before it is stored – so you can take immediate
action on what's relevant, and ignore what isn't.

MACHINE LEARNING & DEEP LEARNING
Deep learning is a type of machine learning
that trains a computer to perform human-like
tasks, such as recognizing speech, identifying
images or making predictions. Instead of
organizing data to run through predefined
equations, deep learning trains the computer
to learn on its own by recognizing patterns
using many layers of processing.
Machine learning is a method of data analysis
that automates analytical model building.
It is based on the idea that systems can learn
from data, identify patterns and make decisions
with minimal human intervention.

DEFECT DETECTION AND NEURAL NETWORKS
Classification by
means of deep
learning
In manufacturing, computer vision identifies product defects in real time.
As the products come off the production line, a computer processes images or videos,
and flags dozens of different types of defects — even on the smallest of products.
