Computer vision is AI that looks at images or video and identifies what's in them — objects, defects, changes — automatically, instead of a person reviewing every frame or photo by eye.

Anywhere a human is currently staring at a screen or a stack of images looking for something specific, that's a candidate for computer vision — not to replace the judgment call, but to do the tedious first pass so a person only has to look at what actually matters.

How This Helps a Business

• Defense & Government: Automatically flagging objects of interest in satellite or drone imagery, instead of an analyst scanning every frame of hours of footage.
• Small Business: Automated quality inspection on a production line, catching a defect a person might miss on the 500th unit of a long shift.
• General: Searching a large image library by what's actually in the photo ("find every image with a forklift") instead of by filename or folder.

The accuracy bar depends on the stakes — a system flagging photos for a person to review can tolerate more error than one making an unsupervised call. We size the approach to match how much is riding on it.
