Robotics & Artificial Intelligence
Explain the areas of applications of Computer Vision:
(a) In healthcare
(b) In agriculture
Answer
(a) In Healthcare: Computer vision is making a big impact in the healthcare sector through the following applications:
- X-Ray Analysis: Computer vision can be successfully used in X-ray analysis to enhance efficiency and accuracy in diagnosing and treating diseases.
- CT Scan and MRI: AI with computer vision designs systems that analyse radiology images (CT scans and MRI) with a high level of accuracy. It reduces the time for disease detection, enhancing the chances of saving a patient's life.
(b) In Agriculture: Computer vision is used in agriculture to improve yields and reduce wastage of crops. The use of drones, equipped with computer vision technology, helps in monitoring crops and identifying potential issues such as pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, etc. It is also being used to develop new agricultural technologies such as autonomous tractors and robotic harvesters.
