What is Computer Vision?
Computer vision turns cameras and depth sensors into scene understanding — detecting objects, people, poses, and free space.
Pipelines fuse RGB, stereo, and depth with neural detectors and trackers to feed navigation and manipulation.
Sight is the primary sense for most modern robots operating among people and products.
Advantages
- Rich environmental signal
- Mature open tooling
- Pairs naturally with ML and VLMs
Limitations
- Lighting and occlusion challenges
- Latency vs accuracy tradeoffs
- Calibration and sensor fusion complexity
Future outlook
Vision-language models are collapsing classic CV pipelines into unified multimodal stacks.
Key concepts
Detection
Finding and classifying objects in the frame.
Depth
Estimating 3D structure from sensors or stereo.
Tracking
Maintaining identity across frames and motion.
Pose
Recovering body and object orientation for contact.
