Image processing, or computer vision, is one of the most researched branches of AI to date. It has grown rapidly over the last few decades and has been instrumental in the advancements of several technologies, including the following:
- Image filters and editors
- Facial recognition
- Digital cartography
- Autonomous vehicles
