Overview

Computer Vision deals with the process of automatic understanding of visual information from a single-source or several images or image sequences. From an engineering point of view it applies methods from classical image progessing and artificial intelligence to extract useful information from a given visual input source.

Some of the most important tasks in Computer Vision include object detection and classification, object tracking and scene reconstruction. In recent years, in addition to classical approaches, deep neural networks (DNN) have been increasingly used in these areas with significant success, especially with large amounts of training data at hand.
