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.

Content Standards

Digital Literacy and Computer Science (2018) Grade(s): 6

DLCS18.6.29
Define artificial intelligence and identify examples of artificial intelligence in the community.

Unpacked Content

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

Students understand that:

while artificial intelligence is designed to aide, it also has negative side effects.

Digital Literacy and Computer Science (2018) Grade(s): 09-12

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

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.
