OpenCV: Bringing AI Within Your Reach

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that involves the use of algorithms to enable machines to interpret and understand images or videos from the real world.

With computer vision, machines can not only see but also understand the world around them like never before. It’s incredible how this technology has made it possible for AI systems to recognise faces, objects, and even emotions! And it doesn’t stop there! From healthcare to agriculture, computer vision is revolutionising the way we approach complex problems. With its integration with IoT, the possibilities are endless!

But why is this integration so critical? The answer is simple: accuracy. With computer vision, we can eliminate human error and ensure that the decisions we make are based on reliable data.

IoT meets computer vision for a wide range of applications

The integration of AI and Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up new avenues for the application of computer vision in a range of industries and use cases.

Intelligent spaces: One of the primary applications of computer vision in the context of AI and IoT is in the field of smart homes and buildings. With the integration of sensors and cameras, buildings can be equipped with systems that monitor and analyse data such as temperature, light, and occupancy. This information can be used to automate various processes such as adjusting the temperature or turning off lights when a room is unoccupied.

Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers

OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
