Computer Vision Guide For Novice: Computer Vision is equivalent to working on millions of calculations in the blink of an eye with almost same accuracy as that of a human eye

Serious work on re-creating a human eye started way back in 50s and since then, we have come a long way. Computer vision has already made its way to our mobile phone via different e-commerce or camera apps.
