Episode Synopsis

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 2019The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/computer-visionGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
