5 signs computer vision is the right tool for your problem
If a human is looking at images all day to make a repetitive call, it might fit.
The quick test
Computer vision fits when a human is currently looking at images or video to make a repetitive decision — counting, inspecting, detecting, sorting — at a volume that's slow or error-prone by hand.
5 signs it's the right tool
- —Someone manually inspects photos or footage all day.
- —Defects or events are missed because of fatigue.
- —You have, or can capture, labeled examples.
- —The decision is visual and repeatable.
- —Speed or consistency matters.
