Exploring Computer Vision (CV): Unveiling the World of Visual Intelligence

Computer Vision (CV) represents a pivotal branch of artificial intelligence focused on enabling machines to interpret and understand visual information. From identifying objects in images to enabling facial recognition systems, CV plays a crucial role in a wide array of applications. In this blog post, we will delve into key CV tasks, essential libraries, and how to get started with them.

Key CV Tasks:

• Image Classification: Identifying objects or scenes in images based on predefined categories. 

          

• Object Detection: Locating and classifying multiple objects within images or videos.

• Facial Recognition: Recognizing and verifying individuals from facial features.

• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs are deep learning models particularly suited for CV tasks due to their ability to effectively capture spatial hierarchies in data.

Essential Libraries for CV

1. OpenCV

   • Description: Open Source Computer Vision Library for image processing and analysis.
   • Installation: Install using pip:

     pip install opencv-python
     

2. TensorFlow
