Computer Vision
Image classification, object detection, CNNs, medical imaging, and visual understanding with deep learning.
Overview
Computer Vision (CV) enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from images and videos. Deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has transformed the field, achieving superhuman performance on many visual tasks.
Core topics include image classification (ResNet, EfficientNet, Vision Transformers), object detection (YOLO, Faster R-CNN), image segmentation (U-Net, Mask R-CNN), and specialized applications like medical imaging, autonomous driving, and visual search.
Key techniques include transfer learning (using pretrained models), data augmentation, self-supervised learning (SimCLR, DINO), and multi-modal models (CLIP, combining vision and language). Understanding CNNs, attention in vision (ViT), and evaluation metrics (mAP, IoU) is essential for ML engineers working with visual data.
