Computer Vision: How Machines See the World

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of computer vision, tracing its history from simple shape recognition in the 1950s to today's advanced applications. We explain the underlying technology, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep learning, LiDAR, and inverse perspective mapping (IPM), and how they allow machines to process and understand visual information. We dive into real-world applications, from healthcare and manufacturing to augmented reality, showing how computer vision is revolutionizing diverse industries. The discussion also highlights the ethical considerations and the responsibility of developing this technology thoughtfully. This episode promises to leave you with a deeper appreciation of how machines see the world and its growing impact on our lives.
