Significant strides have been made within computer vision, especially through developments leveraging deep learning, generative AI and synthetic data. The applications are numerous but each use case comes with unique challenges. For instance, safety critical applications of passive imaging combined with current CV approaches are too brittle, lack sufficient explainability, are difficult to manage, and are extraordinarily greedy. This interactive panel session will explore the issues, the demands, and potential routes forward in the field for more exceptional applications.
