I have had a pleasure of meeting many biological machines at Createsi, and I am glad to hear from them in the form of blog posts. Looking forward to hearing more from them!
Can machines see? Well we, people, are biological machines and we are able to see. So, can we also make mechanical machines, like our computers, see? If yes, a lot of tasks could be automated.
Machine vision was a dream of many researches. Some of them dedicated years to solving the problem. It turned out to be harder than expected. But why is vision so hard? Something so easy and intuitive for us, turns out to be exceptionally hard for our smartest machines. The answer is in the fact that a computer “sees” every image as a matrix of numbers.
