Self-driving vehicles, weather forecasting drones, fulfilment robots and robotic surgery are already transforming the lives of millions of people. It is deep learning computer vision (DL CV) — visual sensors coupled with the ability to make instantaneous, human-like sense out of streaming video — that make these applications possible. One might think that acute focus on DL CV applications would be sufficient to yield the necessary breakthroughs and successful industry applications.
