Computer vision is the field of artificial intelligence concerned with enabling computers to interpret and extract information from visual data such as images and video. Core tasks include image classification, object detection and localization, semantic and instance segmentation, facial recognition, and optical character recognition. Early approaches relied on hand-crafted feature descriptors combined with classical machine learning classifiers; current computer vision is dominated by convolutional neural networks and, increasingly, vision transformer architectures trained on large annotated image datasets. A notable 2026 development is the shift toward foundation models that displace task-specific training for many commercial applications, alongside growing use of agentic vision systems moving from research into operational deployment. Computer vision supports applications including autonomous vehicle perception, medical image analysis, industrial quality inspection, surveillance and security systems, and augmented reality. As an open-access computer vision journal, IJACSA publishes research on computer vision algorithms, model architectures, and applied vision systems evaluated on standard and domain-specific image datasets.
