Compare Stereo Depth Methods for a Drone Inspection Startup

Teaching a machine to see is harder than it sounds and more interesting than it looks. Computer vision engineers shape the systems that read documents, navigate self-driving cars, screen medical images, and answer questions about photos. The role mixes the math of multi-view geometry with the engineering grind of getting models small and fast enough to run where they're needed — sometimes on a phone, sometimes on a robot. Good work here looks like a pipeline that holds up in real lighting, real motion, and real failure modes. Students grow into this path by getting hands-on with OpenCV and PyTorch early, then learning the harder craft of optimizing models without quietly destroying their accuracy.
