Can reinforcement learning algorithms be applied to computer vision problems?

Question

Can reinforcement learning algorithms be applied to computer vision problems? If yes, what are some examples of these applications?

Answer 1

Yes, there are a couple of ways to apply reinforcement learning in computer vision problems. This mainly employs the principle of "applying the algorithm -> evaluating the outcome -> adopting the best outcome".

The following are a couple of examples that use reinforcement learning in computer vision.

• CAD2RL: Real Single-Image Flight Without a Single Real Image.
• End-to-End Training of Deep Visuomotor Policies
