In this episode, we explore two powerful techniques that help machines make sense of the visual world: segmentationand the Hough Transform. Learn how segmentation allows computers to divide an image into meaningful regions—separating objects from their background, identifying features, and enabling tasks like object recognition and scene understanding. Then, discover how the Hough Transform helps detect geometric shapes like lines and circles, even in noisy or complex images.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of computer vision—the technology that allows machines to interpret and understand visual information. Whether it's powering facial recognition, autonomous vehicles, or medical imaging, computer vision is reshaping the way we interact with technology.

We start with the fundamentals of digital images, breaking down how computers "see" in pixels and how color and grayscale information is represented numerically. Then, we introduce edge detection, a powerful technique used to identify boundaries and shapes within an image. Finally, we explore convolution, the core operation behind many vision algorithms, and explain how it helps machines detect patterns, features, and textures.

Perfect for beginners or anyone curious about how machines turn pictures into insights—tune in and discover the building blocks of computer vision!
