About the technology
By using deep neural networks, AI systems make decisions based on their perceptions of their input data. Deep learning-based computer vision (CV) techniques, which enhance and interpret visual perceptions, makes tasks like image recognition, generation, and classification possible.
Mohamed Elgendy is the head of engineering at Synapse Technology, a leading AI company that builds proprietary computer vision applications to detect threats at security checkpoints worldwide. Previously, Mohamed was an engineering manager at Amazon, where he developed and taught the deep learning for computer vision course at Amazon's Machine Learning University. He also built and managed Amazon's computer vision think tank, among many other noteworthy machine learning accomplishments. Mohamed regularly speaks at many AI conferences like Amazon's DevCon, O'Reilly's AI conference and Google's I/O.

How much has computer vision advanced? One ride in a Tesla is the only answer you'll need. Deep learning techniques have led to exciting breakthroughs in facial recognition, interactive simulations, and medical imaging, but nothing beats seeing a car respond to real-world stimuli while speeding down the highway.
