Computer vision is a field of AI that can recognize and analyze objects in images and videos, thanks to machine intelligence algorithms such as machine learning and deep learning.
Computer vision has various applications, e.g., object detection, anomalies detection, or object tracking, depending on how we train the system. Computer vision, in other words, is an intelligent system that enables machines to see things just like we do.
Computer vision has been applied across industries. We often see the integration of computer vision and CCTV cameras to enhance security or computer vision for autonomous vehicles to make sure the car is avoiding obstacles on the road as it travels to its destination.
In addition to detection, computer vision is able to analyze and process data and automate operations. It can be adapted to various surprising tasks. Today, Sertis would like to walk you through 5 unexpected computer vision applications.
Computer vision's benefits on farming
Computer vision can be super beneficial to farming in several aspects because farming activities need high maintenance and monitoring, which computer vision can fill in for us.
Do you know that we can utilize computer vision to monitor animals on our farm, which results in labor and cost savings? Computer vision will monitor surroundings and livestock, and alert the owner to any intrusions or unusual circumstances. We can train AI to set zones and manage each zone according to different rules, for example, some zones might prohibit workers wearing a particular uniform color from entering to prevent the unanticipated spread of disease among farm animals. Besides, we can compile all the data from computer vision monitors, including the number of workers, areas, and livestock conditions. The result can be analyzed to examine the operational performance, for example, to see if there are enough workers, if there is any zone that lacks maintenance, or if there is any change needed, to incorporate into more effective planning.

Computer vision's benefit on growing crops
Apart from livestock, computer vision creates an impact on crops as well. We can use computer vision to monitor crop growth and to see if they are ready for harvest. This task normally relies on a human judgment which tends to be more time-consuming and inaccurate. As we integrate machine intelligence tools as a computer vision solution, the system can automate manual inspection and is scalable across an entire farm at the same time 24/7. Computer vision can be trained to tell if a fruit is ready to be picked or when is the best time, resulting in labor-saving, and maximizing quality, speed, and accuracy.
Computer vision can be integrated into a smart farming ecosystem where we can control the environment, temperature, humidity, and light to effectively grow exotic and seasonal fruit in a smart greenhouse.
Computer vision's benefits on retail
We can apply computer vision solutions to retail business as well. By connecting computer vision models to CCTV cameras, we can record the number of customers entering the store at different periods a day or set zones and track customer footfalls. All these insights enable store owners to better manage and operate their stores by, for example, doubling staff during busy hours, optimizing the marketing campaign during the shopping season, placing ads and products in the right spots, and simplifying the store layouts to make it easier for customers find what they are looking for easier.
These can increase customer satisfaction and improve the shopping experience to attract customers and boost sales.

Computer vision's benefits on traffic management
Computer vision can be utilized with traffic management which was a challenging task within the capability of human labor. Just incorporate a computer vision model with CCTV cameras, then, you are all equipped with automated car counting, license plate recognition, vehicle class and color recognition for security purposes, and vehicle re-identification across several cameras.
Computer vision for traffic management can also be deployed with violations detection or parking lot occupancy detection, making it a technology that significantly streamlines operation, enhances security, and improves visitor experience.

Computer vision's benefits on manufacturing safety
Normally, a factory is full of huge machines and workers walking around all day. Safety protocols can be ensured using computer vision solutions. For example, computer vision provides zoning based on the levels of dangerous or responsible areas or specific groups of workers, performs a visual inspection of protective equipment wearing such as helmets, and potentially problematic and hazardous machine damage, and notifies the stakeholders.
Additionally, computer vision offers an effective approach to quality control. Computer vision monitors the production process, examines product quality, and detects an defects, all of which speed up the production
