Over the past year, demand for specialists in AI/ML has continued to grow, with Computer Vision emerging as a particularly strong direction — one of the most practical and in-demand fields.

In Ukraine, it remains a relatively young specialization with comparatively low competition, but already features real-world applications in defense, healthcare, agritech, and retail. At the same time, the number of products where computer vision is not optional but a core requirement is steadily increasing.

During the webinar, participants will explore how Computer Vision works, where it is applied in real products, and how to enter this field without a chaotic learning path.

Over the course of 90 minutes, attendees will gain a structured understanding of the field and see practical examples of real-world applications.

Agenda:

  • How a computer “sees” an image: from pixels to interpretation
  • Where Computer Vision is applied: defense, healthcare, retail, agritech, and entertainment
  • Core tools: libraries, programming languages, and key approaches
  • Live demos: real-time object and text recognition
  • Ukrainian case studies: from Looksery to drone-related solutions
  • How to get started: a clear roadmap for entering the field

Separately, during the webinar we will present a new Computer Vision training program for those planning to develop in this field.

Speaker:

Denys Pluhatar, Co-founder of uScore and AI Lead at Beetroot. He works with Computer Vision in applied use cases:

  • NSFW content detection
  • Plant disease detection (Vision project)
  • FPV drone target tracking using thermal imaging
