What is computer vision?

Computer vision is a field of AI that trains computers to capture and interpret information from image and video data. By applying machine learning (ML) models to images, computers can classify objects and respond—like unlocking your smartphone when it recognizes your face. From enhancing your selfies with a fun fox filter to detecting lung lesions in medical images, computer vision has more applications than a college administrator’s inbox.

Why NetApp for AI

Computer vision depends on scale-out, file-based storage. We’re talking about billions of files. Lucky for you, NetApp is positioned as a leader in the IDC MarketScape for worldwide scale-out, file-based storage.

Data is the key to clearer computer vision

To incorporate machine learning algorithms, a computer vision application requires massive quantities of data and significant computing power. And if it doesn’t get them, it’s going to need to speak to a manager. But when trained right, an accurate AI model can be life-saving.
