alwaysAI Insider, vol 39: ?? How Practical Is Computer Vision? Let’s Play the Game Show!
Cat here, and I've got your monthly dose of "Why Computer Vision Is the Most Practical AI Out There."
This summer, I've seen some news that made me think, "Wow, computer vision could totally solve that!" If I had a dollar for every time I had that thought, I'd have enough to buy a bengal tiger (which is way less practical ??♀?).
But then it hit me — why not turn this into a game show? Let’s call it "How Practical Is It?"
The rules are simple: I throw out a recent news topic, and you decide if computer vision could swoop in and save the day. Ready? Let's play! ??
Round 1: A woman jumps a fence at the zoo to pet a 500lb bengal tiger (because who wouldn’t want to make friends with a giant predator?). Can computer vision detect when someone who’s not a zookeeper is in the enclosure? ??
Answer: Absolutely. CV can alert security before anyone loses a limb. More on this wild story here.
Round 2: A runaway goat evaded capture for two days in a Massachusetts town, causing chaos in the streets. Could computer vision have prevented this goat getaway? ??
Answer: For sure! CV can detect the goat’s escape early by monitoring animal enclosures and sending alerts if a breach occurs.? Learn more here.
Round 3: The Copa América final was delayed for over 75 minutes after fans rushed the gates, causing a chaotic scene. Could computer vision have prevented this security breach? ??
Answer: Absolutely! CV can monitor crowd behavior, identify a breach early, and alert security to take action before the situation escalates. Read more here.
Now, if you enjoyed this game, here's a challenge: start thinking of all the ways computer vision can solve real problems in your business.?
For instance, imagine using computer vision to detect safety hazards in a manufacturing plant. By analyzing camera feeds, CV systems can spot issues like gas leaks, malfunctioning machinery, or even unsafe employee behavior in real time, sending immediate alerts to prevent accidents.
Or consider applying computer vision for quality control on an assembly line. CV systems can meticulously inspect products for defects or anomalies, like cracks in metal parts or inconsistencies in packaging, ensuring that only top-quality products reach your customers.
Computer vision is the most practical AI out there, hands down. Make every day a game of "How Practical Is It?" and see how many challenges you can solve in your business with the power of computer vision.?
