One of the most popular introductory applications of CNN is image recognition, specifically sorting through images and classifying them as either cat or not cat.

Image Recognition (Classification) in Computer Vision

In this task, there are multiple objects in an image. The computer should detect objects classes and their locations.



Object Detection in Computer Vision

Neural style transfer generates a new image by combining the content of one image with the style of another image. 

Neural Style Transfer in Computer Vision

In this task, the computer should detect the location of the object as well and draw a bounding box around it.

Image Localization in Computer Vision

In autonomous applications such as robotics or vehicles using a camera to track where the camera are is in space can be a good localization estimate. The idea is to analyze sequential frames in a video and compare the movement of certain features in the image between them. Once the correlations are found either a Kalman filter or a 3D mapping can be found depending on the type of data available. Visual odometry can be a highly accurate measure of position but it's often used in sync with other localization and mapping techniques.


Visual Odometry

Camera's are a projection of the 3D world onto 2D a image but once you have the image how can you go back to 3D? This problem is know as reconstructing a 3D image and the most popular method is using stereo vision which is acquiring multiple angles of similar images. By aligning similar features in each image in 2D, 3D geometric information can be extracted in the form of depth maps.

3D Reconstruction

Facial landmarks are used to localize eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, eyebrows, and the face as a whole. They are an important input to many computer vision problems such as facial recognition, driver attention tracking, gaze tracking, etc. The most accurate methods are generally using neural networks trained on datasets such as 300-W, AFLW, WFLW, etc.

Facial Landmark Detection

Optical Flow is the tracking of the motion of objects between two consecutive frames of a video. It relies on pixel intensities between frames being similar and neighboring pixels having similar motion. This allows it to be a fast implementation and useful for applications such as structure from motion, video stabilization, and video compression.
