Because of the recent graduation design plan to write about hand gesture recognition complete human-computer interaction paper, read some online papers, a large number of papers mentioned machine vision and computer vision, but found himself on this aspect of the definition is not clear, so the Internet search, to write their own understanding.
Machine Vision (Machine Vision, MV)
Machine vision is to use machines instead of human eyes to do measurement and judgment, attention is measured and judged, so in general, the main used for factory inspection products, mainly for a number of single scenes. So the accuracy is still relatively high.
Computer Vision (Computer Vision, CV)
Refers to the use of cameras and computers in place of human eyes to identify targets, tracking, and so on, even if we often say that the gesture recognition, generally in the complex background, so has been facing the characteristics of low precision, in the current sensor conditions, to make high-precision products or a little difficult, the most representative is the Kinect.
In fact, both are the image acquisition and processing analysis, but the scope of application may be a little different.
Human-Computer Interaction (human-computer interaction, HCI)
Refers to the process of exchanging information between a person and a computer, using a certain conversational language, in a certain way, for the completion of a task-determining person and computer. So both cases of appeal are human-computer interaction.
It's probably the case.
