Computer vision has penetrated far more industries than you imagine!
It is mind blowing [2-minute read]
When I first heard the term “computer vision,” [10+ years ago] I thought it was only about facial recognition. But then I realized something very interesting. Almost every major industry today is using computer vision in some form or the other, quietly in the background, solving problems that we do not even realize are computer vision problems.
Take healthcare for instance. Computer vision is helping radiologists to detect tumors more accurately, analyze medical scans faster, and even screen for retinal diseases in people who may not have access to top-quality eye care. In agriculture, farmers are using drone-based vision systems to monitor crop health, detect pests early, and ensure that food quality is maintained right from the field. These are not futuristic use cases - they are happening right now.
In the banking sector, vision models are verifying handwritten cheques, processing documents, and flagging suspicious patterns to reduce fraud. In retail and e-commerce, vision is being used to implement visual product search, maintain inventory without human input, and even build cashier-less stores. If you look at manufacturing, computer vision is helping in automating assembly lines, improving quality control, and making factories safer. I have personally worked on one such factory automation project, and I still remember the feeling when our model correctly flagged a defect that had slipped past human inspection - that one moment changed the way I looked at AI’s role in physical industries.
Even in construction and real estate, drones are capturing images to assess construction progress and inspect buildings. In climate and environment, satellite-based vision models are helping monitor wildlife and assess the impact of natural disasters.
If you are someone who is curious about computer vision, and you are wondering how to start learning it properly - not just from YouTube or random blogs, but in a structured and hands-on way - I am teaching a 5-week live bootcamp at Vizuara where you will go deep into tools like OpenCV, R-CNN, YOLO, U-Net, and even learn how to do real-time object detection and image segmentation by actually building projects with me.
It is not just about watching lectures, it is about getting your hands dirty and making things work in the real world. And I will cover all through practical examples.
