Computer Vision: Machines that See

Human vision seems so effortless: from a young age we see the world in high- definition colour. We can tell the difference between a cat and a hat, and 'The man who mistook his wife for a hat' is an anomaly. But despite recent progress, machines still confuse wives for hats.

In this lecture, we will examine the phenomenon of computer vision, show how to build a computer vision system and discuss the expectations for the future.

A lecture by Richard Harvey, IT Livery Company Professor of IT 12 February 2019
