Definition:
Image recognition, as part of computer vision, refers to the technology that enables machines to analyze and understand visual data such as images and/or video frames. It involves the use of algorithms and deep learning models to identify objects, scenes, patterns, and other visual elements within images. By extracting features and patterns from the input data, image recognition systems can classify and categorize images based on the content within these images. The applications for this technology are diverse and broad and include the areas of object detection, image classification, medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality and make it possible for machines to comprehend and interpret visual information much like humans do.
