Computer Vision
Computer Vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs, and then take actions or make recommendations based on that information. In military terms, this allows machines to 'see' and interpret their surroundings for tasks like identifying threats or navigating autonomously.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Computer Vision, an AI and machine learning discipline, empowers military systems to process, analyze, and comprehend visual data from sensors (e.g., electro-optical, infrared, radar) for critical applications such as autonomous navigation, target detection and classification, battlefield surveillance, threat assessment, and intelligence gathering, enhancing decision-making and operational effectiveness.
