Computer vision

Computer vision (or computer vision) is a discipline of artificial intelligence that allows a machine to automatically interpret and analyse images or videos.
It is used to detect objects, recognise faces, read documents, or even control the quality of parts in production. It primarily relies on deep learning and large volumes of visual data.

Computer vision in practice

Practical business use cases

  • Industrial quality control - automatically detect defects on a production line.
  • Product recognition - identify an item from a single photo, in-store or in a warehouse.
  • Automatic document reading - invoices, contracts, technical plans, handwritten forms.
  • Behaviour analysis - gesture tracking, anomaly detection, customer experience measurement.
  • Video and events - recognition of sports scores, license plates, real-time movements.

How to launch a Computer Vision project

  1. Precisely define the task - detection, classification, segmentation? The choice radically changes the approach.
  2. Build a representative dataset and annotate it (variations in lighting, angle, quality).
  3. Start from a pre-trained model and adapt it to the use case (transfer learning) - much faster than training from scratch.
  4. Measure accuracy on real cases before any operational deployment.

Caveats

  • Data quality - blurry photos, poor lighting, variable framing produce unreliable models.
  • Inference cost - large-scale real-time video processing is costly if the architecture is not well thought out.
  • Compliance - facial recognition and behaviour analysis are strictly regulated (GDPR, bias, transparency).
