How do computers 'see'? Unlocking the secrets of pixels, object detection, and OCR.
When you look at a photo of a cat, you see fur, whiskers, and eyes.
When a computer looks at the same photo, it sees a giant grid of numbers.
Each tiny dot in the image (a pixel) has a number representing its color.
Computer Vision is the math used to find patterns in those numbers. "If I see a lot of orange numbers in a triangle shape, that might be a cat's ear."
