Computer Vision

Computer vision is the AI field that teaches machines to "see": interpreting images and video to recognize objects, faces, text, scenes, movements and anomalies. It powers facial recognition, autonomous driving, industrial quality control and medical imaging.

Definition

Modern multimodal models, GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, integrate vision into the language model: you can upload a photo, screenshot, chart or scanned document and discuss it in natural language. This opens up immediate professional use cases: extracting data from invoices, analyzing charts, describing products, verifying documents.

The same rules as text prompting apply to prompting with images: the more specific the prompt about what to look for and in what format to return it, the better the analysis will be.
