Most retail businesses are not waking up and saying We need computer vision. What they are really saying is something simpler and more urgent. We are losing money in places we cannot see. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stores look busy, but sales do not always follow. Shelf gaps go unnoticed until someone complains. Cameras are everywhere, yet they mostly sit there recording problems after they happen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where the question becomes important. What is computer vision? Not how advanced the models are. The real question is, when does it actually make sense for a retail business to invest in it?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
