Benjamin, [4/1/2022 1:01 PM] Traditionally, the use of Artificial Intelligence is only reserved for complex industrial applications and is mostly used in niche markets. The development of Artificial Intelligence for niche applications was also expensive and time consuming. However, in the age of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and the Internet of Things, such development costs have been lowered greatly and has become accessible to the masses. With the growing need for “smart” devices and applications, the field of Artificial Intelligence has also grown in popularity in recent years. The potential for Artificial Intelligence has yet to be fully tapped on, as researchers all around the world constantly work towards improving models and creating novel neural networks. Additionally, with more large corporations pushing for cutting-edge technology for commercial products, the innovation for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will continue to propagate. One major field within the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence is Computer Vision, as it plays a crucial role in many applications such as self-driving transport, character recognition and facial recognition. However, Computer Vision requires intelligence to increase its effectiveness in many applications. Hence, Scene Understanding is a vital partner to Computer Vision. The combination of “Vision” and “Understanding” is a key contributor to the power of Computer Vision.
