Securing the depths of the sea through computer vision
We hear more and more about artificial intelligence, algorithms, machine learning, data analysis, but we don’t always have the knowledge and understanding of what is being conveyed to us. Today, we want to talk to you about Computer Vision.
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence and computer science that focuses on the ability of computers to interpret and understand visual information in the world.
If artificial intelligence allows computers to “think for themselves,” computer vision allows them to identify, discern objects… in short, in one word: to “see”! It involves the development of algorithms, techniques, and technologies that enable computers to train to recognize meaningful information and make decisions based on large volumes of data, such as images or videos.
For example, our consultants work on projects where computer vision is used to record and interpret images of the seabed, using drones called “survey drones.” These drones detect, recognize, and track objects by classifying them in their environment and can process visual data and extract information through real-time image and video processing capabilities. The data is then cleaned and analyzed by engineers following the project.
Of course, computer vision can be implemented in many other sectors, and our teams also work on projects in the aerospace, energy, and telecommunications sectors.
