Write what each word means, using the article.

Do not copy the article. Write two things you learned, the way you would explain them to a friend.

Answers below are taken from the article’s stored facts, so they match what the student read.

1. What is the scientific discipline?Concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images
2. What is the technological discipline?Seeks to apply theories and models to construct practical computer vision systems
3. What does computer vision let computers do?It lets them see and understand pictures like we do, recognizing objects, tracking motion, and building 3D models.
4. How do computers learn to see?They use deep neural networks trained on many images, learning simple features first and then complex objects.

Image Acquisition: The process of capturing visual data using sensors like cameras or scanners.
Image Processing: Techniques used to manipulate and enhance digital images for analysis or display.
Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning using artificial neural networks with many layers to learn complex patterns.
