Computer Vision: Crash Course Computer Science #35

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

6, 9, 10, 11, 12

Overview

We’re going to talk about how computers see. We’ve long known that our digital cameras and smartphones can take incredibly detailed images, but taking pictures is not quite the same thing. For the past half-century, computer scientists have been working to help our computing devices understand the imagery they capture, leading to advancements everywhere, from tracking hands and whole bodies to biometrics to unlock our phones.

    Vocabulary

    • artificial intelligence

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • that artificial intelligence is the use of computer systems to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence and include services such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision
    • making, and translation between languages.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • identify examples of artificial intelligence.

    Understanding

    DLCS18.HS.28

    Develop a model that reflects the methods, procedures and concepts used by computing devices in translating digital bits as real-world phenomena, such as print characters, sound, images, and video.

    Unpacked Content

    UP:DLCS18.HS.28

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • computing devices use methods, procedures, and concepts to translate digital bits from an abstract form into real-world phenomena such as sound, images, etc.
    • each device has a process for translating from computational information to real-world phenomena.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • model the translation of digital information to real-world phenomena.
    • understand that this process is that way in which computing devices and humans interact.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • for computing devices to communicate in a way in which humans understand, there is a process (methods, procedures, and concepts) used to translate computational information to real-world phenomena.
