# Computer Vision

## Overview

Computer vision enables machines to understand visual information from images and videos, powering applications like autonomous driving, medical imaging, and surveillance.

## When to Use

- Image classification and object recognition tasks
- Object detection and localization in images
- Semantic or instance segmentation projects
- Pose estimation and human activity recognition
- Face recognition and biometric systems
- Medical imaging analysis and diagnostics

## Computer Vision Tasks

- **Image Classification**: Categorizing images into classes
- **Object Detection**: Locating and classifying objects in images
- **Semantic Segmentation**: Pixel-level classification
- **Instance Segmentation**: Detecting individual object instances
- **Pose Estimation**: Identifying human body joints
- **Face Recognition**: Identifying individuals in images

## Popular Architectures

- **Classification**: ResNet, VGG, EfficientNet, Vision Transformer
- **Detection**: YOLO, Faster R-CNN, SSD, RetinaNet
- **Segmentation**: U-Net, DeepLab, Mask R-CNN
- **Pose**: OpenPose, PoseNet, HRNet
