APPENDIX: OUR THEMATIC RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Computer Vision - Thematic Research

Summary

The explosion in the volume of visual data, coupled with the increased sophistication of artificial neural networks and the availability of chips created specifically for artificial intelligence (AI) processes, will all drive growth in computer vision (CV) over the coming years. CV will find myriad applications in several industries, reaching an estimated market size of $28bn by 2030, up from $3.5bn in 2019, according to GlobalData forecasts.

CV gives machines the power of visual recognition in a way that replicates human vision. Whether a machine is recognizing faces in a crowd or detecting vehicles on the road, the ultimate aim is to make decisions based on image interpretation. As such, CV’s impact on people's lives could be massive and the ethical implications unprecedented.
