What Computer Vision Is and the 2026 Landscape

Computer vision (CV) is the engineering discipline that builds systems able to extract meaning from images and video. Where a human glances at a photo and instantly parses objects, text, faces, depth, and intent, a computer starts with nothing but a grid of numbers.
