Let's begin with image classification. This task assigns a label to an entire image, helping to identify what it represents. Can anyone give me an example of image classification in action?
Like when a program recognizes a picture of a dog and labels it as 'dog'?
Exactly! Thatβs image classification. Remember, we assign one label to the whole image. A good memory aid for this is the acronym 'LABEL' β it stands for *Labeling All Basics of Every Layer*! What do you think?
Thatβs catchy! So, it means we just recognize the main object in the picture?
Yes, it simplifies what we're looking at without detailing the individual components. Let's summarize: Image classification labels the entire image, like identifying it as a cat or a car.
Object Detection

Now, let's discuss object detection. This goes further than classification, as it not only recognizes but also pinpoints where objects are located in an image. Can you think of how this works?
Maybe like in a shopping app where it highlights products like shoes or bags within a picture?
Precisely! Object detection provides bounding boxes around identified items. To remember this concept, think of the phrase 'DETECT & LOCATE'βit summarizes the task beautifully!
So, we get the type of objects and their positions in one go!
Exactly right! In summary, object detection identifies and locates multiple objects in an image by drawing boxes around each one.
Image Segmentation

Next up is image segmentation, which is crucial for distinguishing between different parts of an image. Can anyone explain what segmentation does?
It assigns classes to each pixel, right? Like separating the sky and the ground in an image?
Spot on! That's semantic segmentation, which differentiates pixels into categories. For instance, every pixel related to the sky will be marked the same way. A mnemonic could be 'SEE THE PIXELS'βto remember that we're looking at each pixel individually.
And instance segmentation takes it a step further?
That's correct! Instance segmentation identifies each separate object. So, if there are two dogs in the image, it will recognize them individually.
So, segments can show us both what the objects are and how many there are?
Yes! In summary, image segmentation categorizes and differentiates pixels to understand the details of every object present in the image.
Image Generation

Finally, letβs look at image generation, where we create new images from scratch using techniques like GANs. Does anyone know what a GAN is?
I think itβs a Generative Adversarial Network, right? It generates images and can learn to create realistic ones!
Exactly! GANs help synthesize new images based on patterns learned from real images. A good way to remember this is the phrase 'CREATE & INNOVATE'βit emphasizes their creative aspect.
What about diffusion models? I heard they can create images too!
Great point! Diffusion models, like DALLΒ·E 2, generate images stepwise from noise or text, offering another way to create visual content. We can conclude that image generation enables us to create highly innovative and unique visuals.

Overview of Computer Vision Tasks
In this section, we explore the core tasks involved in computer vision, which enable machines to analyze and understand visual information. Here are the primary tasks:
- Image Classification: This task assigns a label to an entire image, defining what the image representsβbut not its specific components.
- Object Detection: Going a step further, object detection identifies and locates multiple objects within an image, providing bounding boxes around each identified object.
- Image Segmentation: This task involves classifying each pixel in an image, allowing for finer granularity by distinguishing between different objects and their parts. It can be further divided into:
- Semantic Segmentation: Categorizes pixels into predefined object categories, such as differentiating between the background, road, and vehicles.
- Instance Segmentation: Similar to semantic segmentation, but it differentiates between each instance of an object, allowing recognition of two identical objects as separate entities.
- Image Generation: Here, new images are created using techniques such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or diffusion models, which can fabricate images based on noise or textual descriptions.
Understanding these tasks is critical, as they form the foundational pipeline for more complex computer vision applications and contribute to advancements in fields such as autonomous driving, healthcare image diagnostics, and augmented reality.

Image Classification: Assign a label to the whole image.
Detailed Explanation
Image Classification is the task of identifying the content of an image and assigning a label that represents that content. For example, if we have an image of a dog, the modelβs output would be a label that states 'dog'. This process often uses algorithms and learning models that are trained on a large number of labeled images to recognize patterns.
Examples & Analogies
Think of Image Classification like a teacher grading a stack of homework assignments. The teacher looks at each paper as a whole and assigns a grade based on whatβs written on it. Similarly, an image classifier looks at the entire image, identifies what it sees, and gives an appropriate label.
Object Detection

Object Detection: Detect and locate multiple objects in an image.
Detailed Explanation
Object Detection expands upon Image Classification by not only identifying what an image contains but also pinpointing where those objects are located within the image. This usually involves drawing bounding boxes around detected objects to indicate their positions. For instance, in an image with multiple fruit items, the model can identify apples and bananas, displaying boxes around each to show their locations.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are at a grocery store looking for all the fruits. Rather than just stating there's a basket of fruits, you want to point out exactly where the apples, bananas, and oranges are in the store. This is similar to what an Object Detection algorithm does in images.
Image Segmentation

Image Segmentation: Classify each pixel in the image.
Detailed Explanation
Image Segmentation involves breaking down an image into smaller parts, specifically by classifying each individual pixel. This enables a more detailed understanding of the image. For example, in a photo of a street scene, semantic segmentation would label every pixel that belongs to a car differently from those that belong to the road, while instance segmentation would differentiate between multiple cars present in the image.
Examples & Analogies
Consider this like a painter who uses different colors to fill in specific areas of a canvas. Each color corresponds to a different component of the scene, just like how each pixel might represent parts of different objects in an image.
Image Generation

Image Generation: Create new images (GANs, diffusion models).
Detailed Explanation
Image Generation refers to the creation of new images from scratch using models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or diffusion models. These techniques allow computers to generate images that can look very realistic, pulling from learned patterns in existing datasets. For instance, a GAN could generate a new portrait that looks like an actual painting, although it was never painted by a human.
Examples & Analogies
Think of Image Generation as being like a chef who can create a brand new dish by combining ingredients they have learned to cook before. Just as the chef creatively mixes flavors to invent something unique, the model creatively blends learned features from past images to create something new.
