(Computer Vision) Machines Learn to See: Understanding the Core Algorithms of Image Recognition

Do you flash back the exhilaration of writing your first "Hello World"? For me, that excitement was transcended the moment I saw a machine perform a task I formerly allowed was uniquely mortal. I flash back pointing my webcam at a coffee mug, and the screen flashed "Cup (98.4%)". To us, seeing is as natural as breathing. But for a machine, this is a Herculean task involving the interpretation of millions of numerical values. Bridging the gap between a raw grid of figures and meaningful visual understanding is what makes Computer Vision (CV) one of the most fascinating fields in AI. Table of Contents 1.
