image recognition

Image recognition is a technology that enables computers to identify and categorize objects, scenes, and activities in images. By using algorithms, particularly those based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, these systems analyze visual data, mimicking how humans recognize visual elements. Applications range from photo tagging on social media to advanced uses in security and healthcare. Essentially, image recognition allows machines to "see" and interpret visual content, making it useful in various fields, such as autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and retail, where understanding images is crucial for decision-making and automation.
