In computer vision an image or a video is taken as input and the goal is to understand including being able to infer something about it the image and its contents computer vision uses image. Smoothing sharpening changing the brightness and contrast highlighting the edges and so on.
The main difference between these two approaches are the goals not the methods used. However one could define three distinct processes based on a hierarchy level. Much like the process of visual reasoning of human vision.
Image processing computer vision.
Image processing is mainly focused on processing the raw input images to enhance them or preparing them to do other tasks. Computer vision is focused on extracting information from the input images or videos to have a proper understanding of them to predict the visual input like human brain.
