Vision
What is computer vision?
Computer vision is the set of models and pipelines that detect, classify, segment, or search visual content.
Updated
How it works
- Store images or frames as typed media.
- Run detection, classification, or embedding columns.
- Query the labels or the neighbors.
What it is not
It is not a labeling UI with no inference, and it is not a warehouse of image URLs.
computer vision: this, and the thing it is confused with
| This | Not this | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Images or frames | URLs in a spreadsheet |
| Output | Boxes, classes, masks, neighbors | A folder listing |
| Labels | Stored on the row | Trapped in another tool’s export |
Where Pixeltable fits
Pixeltable runs those models as computed columns on image and frame rows, and can store human labels on the same rows.
