computer vision

   A branch of artificial intelligence and image processing
   concerned with computer processing of images from the real
   world.  Computer vision typically requires a combination of
   low level image processing to enhance the image quality
   (e.g. remove noise, increase contrast) and higher level
   pattern recognition and image understanding to recognise
   features present in the image.
