Computer vision is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables machines to detect, identify, and label objects. Computer vision machines can also identify characteristics of objects, like size, texture, color, and spatial arrangement. They can identify the age, gender, and cultural heritage of human beings, count them, detect their mood and sentiments.

Any computer vision system is trained on millions of images that have been already labeled with names, characteristics, and descriptions. Using deep learning algorithms and neural networks, these systems learn to “see” objects.

Computer vision has found use in various industries like retail, healthcare, manufacturing, automobiles, education, etc. Using images generated by the citizens as a training dataset has inherent privacy and security issues because they make the people and their personal data identifiable.

It is important for those using computer vision systems to understand this and implement security as a strategy right from ex*****on two deployment. There needs to be continued governance and regulatory compliance to ensure that these data are being used ethically.
