 Conclusion

1)Introduction (What is CV?)


Computer Vision is a part of a complex approach to smart manufacturing
that allows computers and machines to see the physical world by enabling them to extract,
process, and analyse information from visual inputs. It‘s important to mention that Image
Processing is different from Computer Vision, but people often get these two mixed
up. Image Processing is only an aspect of Computer Vision, and they are not the same.
Image Processing systems focus on transforming images from one form to another, and
Computer Vision systems help the computer to understand, and get meaning from an
image. Many Computer Vision systems employ Image Processing algorithms. For example, a
face enhancement app may use computer vision algorithms to detect faces in a photo, and
then apply Image Processing techniques like smoothing or grayscale filters to it.

2)Machine Vision vs CV

Computer vision refers in broad Machine vision traditionally
terms to the capture and automation of image refers to the use of computer vision in an
analysis with an emphasis on the image industrial or practical application or
analysis function across a wide range of process where it is necessary to execute a

image analysis done by the vision system.

3)Benefits of computer vision in manufacturing


 Time-efficiency. Not only does a  fully automated system operate much faster, but it
can also work  24/7 if needed.
 Accuracy. Adoption of CV-based solutions allows manufacturing companies to
achieve a significantly higher level of accuracy within the accepted tolerance.
Combining specific equipment and advanced CV algorithms allows achieving near-
perfect precision levels in production and quality control.
 Repeatability. When it comes to repetitive work, CV-driven solutions are more
effective when it comes to monotonous tasks. A fully automated system speeds up
production time and reduces the cost of production on many levels (e.g., there is no
need to train or retrain personnel).
 Reduced costs. Apart from reduced labour costs (as fewer staff members are needed
to control the process), there is less room for mistakes or deviation from the
standards, thus the overall quality of the product is better, and there is less waste.
 Post-pandemic value. It seems like social distancing is here to stay, so reducing the
number of staff members on the production lines will help employers maintain
sanitation norms and help employees stay healthy. 

4)How will CV impact the future ?


Computer vision coupled with the right sensor can work wonders.
Predictive analytics of machines, assembly of components, defect inspection systems, and
quality control are some examples where computer vision technology can be implemented
to optimize business processes.

since computer vision swells its impact in the human world, there are numerous things to
look at, on how it will alter the way people see their lives and how they live it. With
additional research on and fine-tuning of the technology, the future of computer vision will
see it perform a wide array of functions. The technology will not only be easier to train but
also be able to detect more from images than they perform now.

Computer vision technologies will also be utilized alongside other technologies or other
subsets of AI to create more compelling applications. Image captioning applications, for
instance, where it can be integrated with natural language generation (NLG) to interpret the
objects in the surroundings for visually challenged people. In the development of artificial
general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI), computer vision also can
portray a significant role by providing them the ability to process information or even better
than the human visual system.

5) Conclusion
It’s all about a different, smarter approach to every step of the process, including
production, supply chain inventory management, and more. One of the goals is to create
‘smart machines’ that are able to see, communicate, and do the same work as humans with
greater precision and better results. Enabling machines to perceive information from the
physical world and assist humans in complex processes opens the door for many
opportunities. Many companies are either implementing or considering an idea of Computer
Vision on their manufacturing sites. The computer vision market is undergoing a relentless
transformation, constantly creating new solutions and technological advancements.
Forrester’s analysis shows that we are at the peak of the commercialization phase of
Computer Vision development . We already use CV for facial recognition, content
intelligence and intelligence recommendation engines, and more.

HISTORY:
In the late 1960s, the concept of computer vision started at the university level. The pioneers
of AI envisioned a system that could mimic the human visual system and thereby grant robots
one more tool in aiding their decision-making abilities. What differentiates computer vision
from the predominant field of digital image processing at that time was a need to extract 3D
structure from an image aimed at comprehending the exact details within that photograph
besides what is available in the foreground. By the 1970s, developers had begun to lay the
foundations for many of the computer vision algorithms available today. Includes extracting
parts of an image, line labels, non-polyhedral and polyhedral modelling, object representation
as interconnections of smaller assemblies, optical flows, and motion estimations. In more
recent work, feature-based methods of computer vision have arisen coupled with machine
learning applications and complex optimization frameworks. The growth of Deep Learning
techniques has further advanced the field of computer vision.
