Object Detection
Pinpoint the location and boundaries of specific objects in an image or video. Used in applications like security systems for identifying suspicious objects and retail for analyzing customer behavior.
Facial Recognition
Analyze facial features to identify and verify individuals. Used for unlocking smartphones, security systems like airport security, law enforcement, etc. It compares facial features to a database of known individuals or creates unique facial signatures for identification.
Video Analytics
Involves the analysis of video content to extract meaningful information. Track objects, detect motion, identify anomalies or unusual activity, and even predict future events based on the patterns. Its applications include surveillance, traffic monitoring, and sports analysis.
Image Processing
Manipulate and analyze digital images using a range of techniques. It’s used to improve image quality, removing noise or artifacts, dividing an image into different regions, and identifying important characteristics within an image.
Image Segmentation
Divide an image into distinct regions or segments based on color, texture, or other visual characteristics. It’s crucial for many applications, such as medical image analysis (segmenting tumors from healthy tissue), self-driving cars (segmenting roads from other objects), and object recognition.
Emotion Recognition
Understand and interpret human emotions based on facial expressions, body language, and vocal cues. Applications include customer service for analyzing customer sentiment, human-computer interaction for developing more empathetic AI systems, and mental health assessment.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Extract text from images or scanned documents for a variety of applications including data entry, document digitization, and text search. Advanced OCR systems can even recognize handwritten text and different languages.
Object Classification
Categorize objects within an image or video into predefined classes. For example, a system might be trained to classify images of animals as cats, dogs, birds, or other categories. Object classification is widely used in image search, content organization, and autonomous systems.
