Sample Solution
Image recognition, in the context of machine vision, is the ability of software to identify objects, places, people, writing and actions in images. It uses machine vision technologies with artificial intelligence and trained algorithms to recognize images through a camera system. when computer vision started to take shape as a field in the 1960s, its aim was to try and mimic human vision systems and ask computers to tell us what they see, automating the process of image analysis. This kind of technology is the precursor to artificially intelligent image recognition. With image recognition, businesses can capture visual intel about their brand anywhere online, helping them make key brand decisions.
