Academic CV researchers will write a lot of papers, but there won’t be any big commercial successes that are based on dramatic improvements in CV science. This is a subtle point: there may be big CV successes, but they will be based on figuring out ways to use CV-like technology that avoids grappling with the real hardness of the problem
Do driverless cars that drive on normal streets count?
Driverless cars are actually a good illustration of my point. These cars use CV at some level, but they depend fundamentally on laser range finders, GPS, and precompiled road maps. There’s no way modern CV alone could work reliably enough in such a potentially dangerous and legally fraught situation.
