“AI is a rigorous science focused on designing intelligent systems and machines, using algorithmic techniques somewhat inspired by what we know about the brain”

Yann LeCun

Computer Vision(CV) is one of the de facto Artificial Intelligence technology that is present in many AI application we come across.

Facial recognition, self-driving cars, augmented reality and many more applications leverage computer vision techniques in some form.

Over the past decade, computer vision has become more prominent as AI applications gain more adoption.

The increase in AI application adoption contributed to the rise in the number of computer vision-related jobs and courses

This article will briefly introduce the development of computer vision over the past fifty years and explore the traditional CV techniques that were employed in the early days of the field. An exploration into the deep learning era will be included in this article, including an explanation into the causation of the shift from traditional CV approached to deep learning-based approaches.
