This paper is an attempt at explaining some of the results, the problems and shortcomings of using Computer Vision in the real world.
Computers play a role in everyone's life in one way or another. Ever since Turing postulated his, by now well known, "Turing test," there has been an enormous increase in the use of machines to do more than mere computation. Within the last five years or so there has been spurt in the use of machines to perform assembly line tasks. In particular welding, painting, assembly inspection, manufacturing etc. To quite an extent these various attempts are a blindfold approach to manufacturing. In other words they do not use Computer Vision. This paper is an attempt at explaining some of the results, the problems and shortcomings of using Computer Vision in the real world.
