Frequently Asked Questions

What is computer vision?

Computer vision is the field of AI that trains computers to interpret images and video, identifying objects, people, text and scenes so software can act on what it sees.

What are the main tasks?

Image classification, object detection, segmentation, pose estimation, optical character recognition, tracking and image generation.

Which libraries should I learn first?

OpenCV for classical image processing, PyTorch with torchvision for deep learning, and Ultralytics YOLO for quick detection projects.

Where do I get training data?

COCO and ImageNet are standard datasets; see Data Sets for ML/DL and the data labeling directory for annotation tools.

How do vision and language models connect?

Multimodal models combine image and text understanding; see the Multimodal Language Models page.
