Summary
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables machines to interpret, analyze, and understand visual information from images and videos, mimicking human sight. This technology uses deep learning and neural networks to recognize objects, people, and patterns with high accuracy. In the context of autonomous driving, computer vision allows vehicles to perceive their surroundings by processing data from cameras and sensors to identify road markers, traffic signs, other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. While some companies, like Tesla, advocate for a vision-only approach, arguing that cameras are sufficient for autonomous driving, others, such as Waymo, integrate computer vision with technologies like LiDAR and high-definition maps for enhanced perception and safety. Computer vision systems are crucial for tasks such as object detection, lane tracking, depth estimation, and scene understanding, which are fundamental for safe navigation. Although computer vision has limitations, particularly in adverse weather conditions, its cost-effectiveness and scalability make it a significant component in the advancement of autonomous driving technology.

## What is Computer Vision? Computer vision is the science and technology that enables machines to understand, analyze, and interpret visual information in the same way humans do. It empowers computers to process, comprehend, and extract meaningful insights from images, videos, and even real-time visual streams. [...] ## How does Computer Vision Work? Computer vision encompasses a range of algorithms, techniques, and principles to enable machines to understand and interpret visual data. It involves a complex process of analyzing images and videos to extract meaningful information, often employing machine learning, pattern recognition, image processing, and specifically, deep learning and neural networks. The process of computer vision typically involves the following steps: [...] Just as we use our eyes to take in our surroundings and make decisions, computer vision trains machines to perform these same actions, albeit digitally. For example, with computer vision, a machine can be shown an image of a tree, and will be able to recognize it as such. And because a system trained in computer vision can analyze data points (such as images or videos) so quickly, a computer vision system can surpass human capabilities in short order.

- Computer vision - Wikipedia
Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that deals with how computers can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. From the perspective of engineering, it seeks to automate tasks that the human visual system can do. "Computer vision is concerned with the automatic extraction, analysis, and understanding of useful information from a single image or a sequence of images. It involves the development of a theoretical and algorithmic basis to achieve automatic [...] visual understanding." As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images. The image data can take many forms, such as video sequences, views from multiple cameras, or multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner. As a technological discipline, computer vision seeks to apply its theories and models for the construction of computer vision systems. Machine vision refers to a systems engineering discipline, [...] Computer vision includes 3D analysis from 2D images. This analyzes the 3D scene projected onto one or several images, e.g., how to reconstruct structure or other information about the 3D scene from one or several images. Computer vision often relies on more or less complex assumptions about the scene depicted in an image.
