Computer vision is the field of computer science that focuses on replicating parts of the complexity of the human vision system and enabling computers to identify and process objects in images and videos in the same way that humans do. Until recently, computer vision only worked in limited capacity.

Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and innovations in deep learning and neural networks, the field has been able to take great leaps in recent years and has been able to surpass humans in some tasks related to detecting and labeling objects.

IMAGE ANALYSIS(IA) is the identification of attributes within an image via digital image processing techniques to make the IA process more accurate and cost-effective.

Since 2013DIGITAL GROWTH INDIA helps both product companies and non-IT enterprises gain a competitive advantage by developing IA software

IMAGE ANALYSIS CORE TASK :

Detect: Distinguish regions of interest for further analysis, individual objects from the background, etc.

Recognize: Label or classify objects in digital images based on one or several object classes: people, vehicles, electronic components, etc.

Identify: Recognize individual features of an object and classify it with more precision: identify individual people, specific vehicles, animal species, device models, etc.

APPROACHES TO BUILD IMAGE ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

Rule-based approach

For a small amount of visual data of low variability:

Excellent performance within a narrow domain.

Doesn’t require big datasets.

Performance can be easily validated.

Explicability (every decision step is clearly seen in the code).

Easy debugging.

Machine learning approach

For large datasets of unstructured data:

Deals better with complex objects and tasks.

Doesn’t require explicit knowledge.

Easier scalability.

Lower operational costs.
