Definition
Image recognition uses AI to identify objects, faces, text, or scenes in photos and videos.
How It Works
AI analyzes pixels to find patterns that match known objects. It learns from millions of labeled images - seeing thousands of cat photos teaches it what cats look like.
Modern systems can identify hundreds of different objects in a single image and even understand relationships between them.
Why It Matters
Image recognition powers photo tagging, medical imaging, security systems, and self-driving cars. It lets computers "see" and make decisions based on visual information.
The technology handles tasks that used to require human vision, making automation possible in many fields.
