Mahla Abdolahnejad

Mahla Abdolahnejad is a Ph.D. candidate in systems and computer engineering with Carleton University, Canada. She also holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in biomedical engineering, which first exposed her to the field of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks, in particular. Her Ph.D. research is focused on deep unsupervised learning for computer vision applications. She is particularly interested in exploring the differences between a human's way of learning from the visual world and a machine's way of learning from the visual world, and how to push machine learning algorithms toward learning and thinking like humans.

Computer Vision

To understand computer vision, let's discuss human vision. Human vision is the ability of the human eye and brain to see and recognize objects. Computer vision is the process of giving a machine a similar, if not better, understanding of seeing and identifying objects in the real world.

It is fairly simple for the human eye to precisely identify whether an animal is a tiger or a lion, but it takes a lot of training for a computer system to understand such objects distinctly. Computer vision can also be defined as building mathematical models that can mimic the function of a human eye and brain. Basically, it is about training computers to understand and process images and videos.

Computer vision is an integral part of many cutting-edge areas of robotics: health care and medical (X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, and so on), drones, self-driving cars, sports and recreation, and so on. Almost all businesses need computer vision to run successfully.
