Hi Niranjan:

Let's start with the basics. What is CV (computer vision)? So far, we communicate with computers through text and voice. CV will enable a computer to “see” images, graphics and videos. By seeing what’s inside these visual formats, computers can better understand the images and us. 

Computer Vision skills are in-demand. With so much opportunity and companies competing to be the first and best in the business, there is a lot of demand for AI (artificial intelligence), computer vision and machine learning tech skills.

Robots might take our jobs; so we must train them. One popular topic is the idea that robots will replace human workers and in many cases, it’s true. In the same way that customer service chatbots and ATMs reduced the need for humans to do that work, AI will replace some of the human workforce.

Interpersonal skills are on the rise. Many jobs at risk for automation are jobs that are “automate-able.” If you’re job requires a lot of repetition, it may be at risk. However, if you’re in a field or job that requires human interaction, strategy or leadership, chances are robots will improve your job, but not replace it.

Computer Vision is a fascinating field and many Indian e-commerce companies and startups are leveraging the application. Also a lot of Indian startups such as Sigtuple, SensoVision Systems have CV at the core.

Things you can do to prepare yourself for a career in Computer Vision (these are topics that you can probably cover before embarking on a PhD in this area, just to see if you'll like it):

* Get a solid background in math, especially in Linear Algebra, Calculus and Vectors, etc. Really, love all things math or don't even bother.
* You'll also need a lot of Image Processing. You'll need to understand how signals work, how they are stored and processed in a computer. Things like the Fourier Transform, Filters, Wavelets, etc.
* Programming and Coding. You'll be doing this every day.
* Artificial Intelligence, including Neural Networks (try to learn at least one framework for this).
* Be prepared to live frustrated. Sorry, but I'm just being honest. If you can't handle constant frustration you'll just be miserable. Computer Vision is an exciting field; but it's also filled with lots of things that just don't work, or they don't work well all the time. You'll often code something that seems to work well, only to see it fail if you change small things like a cloud passing overhead. Neural Networks can work very well but also fail spectacularly in ways no one fully understands yet. Computer Vision is *hard*; but if you like a difficult challenge, and you can persevere, then you'll be fine :)
