Все три роли overlap в 2026, но focus areas различные. ML Engineer — generalist, владеет production ML stack (recsys / fraud / ranking / classical ML + LLM). Может работать с CV-data, но не deep specialization. См. ML Engineer. AI Engineer / LLM Engineer — focus на LLM integration (text-focused). См. AI / LLM Engineer. NLP Engineer — focus на text + speech. См. NLP Engineer. Computer Vision Engineer (эта страница) — focus на image / video / 3D data. Stack overlap с ML Engineer ~60% (PyTorch + cloud ML + deployment) + ~30% unique (OpenCV + Ultralytics + Detectron2 + SAM + albumentations + edge deployment specifics — TensorRT / CoreML). Distinctions: 1) Image processing intuition — CV Engineer understands camera models / lens distortion / color spaces / histogram analysis / morphological ops — classical CV foundation. AI Engineer обычно ничего такого не знает. 2) Computational constraints — CV models heavy (gigabytes), inference latency critical (autonomous driving — 30+ FPS mandate), edge deployment (TensorRT / CoreML / OpenVINO mastery) — exclusive CV territory. 3) Generative image / video specialization — Stable Diffusion / FLUX / ComfyUI workflow expertise — CV-niche specifically (overlaps с AI Engineer для text-driven generation). 4) 3D vision skills — NeRF / Gaussian Splatting / point cloud / SLAM / camera calibration — exclusive CV. 5) Domain expertise — CV roles часто tied к specific industry (autonomous vehicles / medical imaging / robotics / AR/VR / satellite imagery / manufacturing QC). Each domain имеет свои датасеты + правила. Career-pivots: ML Engineer Senior → CV Engineer — 4-8 месяцев (need OpenCV + Ultralytics + Detectron2 + albumentations + один domain). CV Engineer Senior → ML Engineer — 2-4 месяца (easy lateral, добавить MLOps + LLM basics). CV Engineer Senior → AI Engineer (LLM track) — 3-6 месяцев. Hot 2025-2026 sub-specializations: 3D Vision (Gaussian Splatting) / Generative Image-Video (FLUX + Sora-style) / Multimodal (Vision-Language Models — LLaVA / Molmo).

Decision tree для object detection / segmentation 2026: 1) Ultralytics YOLO (YOLOv8 / v9 / v10 / v11) — default choice 2026 для object detection. Pros: easy training (3-5 lines of code), good docs + community, fast inference (real-time на CPU + edge), wide deployment support (ONNX + TensorRT + CoreML + TFLite native). Cons: Ultralytics license requires AGPL or commercial license ($$) для proprietary use, less academic-flexible чем Detectron2 / MMDetection. Use case: 90% production object detection use cases, прототипы, edge deployment. 2) Detectron2 (Meta) — research-grade. Pros: clean API, flexible (easy custom architectures), Apache 2.0 license (commercial-friendly), backed by Meta. Cons: slower training than Ultralytics, larger learning curve. Use case: complex custom architectures, research projects, when you need fine control over training loop. 3) MMDetection / MMSegmentation / MMPose (OpenMMLab — Chinese consortium) — huge ecosystem. Pros: 100+ pre-implemented architectures (старые и новые), papers reference implementations always там first, Apache 2.0. Cons: config-heavy (steep learning curve), Chinese-language community sometimes hard для English-only, dependencies могут конфликтовать. Use case: research, comparing many architectures, paper reproduction. 4) DETR family (transformer-based detection) — modern paradigm shift 2020+. RT-DETR (Real-Time DETR — Baidu, rising 2024+ — competitor к YOLO в real-time space), DINO-DETR, Co-DETR. Pros: end-to-end (no NMS post-processing), often better accuracy on complex scenes. Cons: slower inference чем YOLO, more compute-hungry для training. Use case: highest-accuracy needs, complex scenes (crowded objects). 5) SAM (Segment Anything Model — Meta 2023) + SAM 2 (video version 2024) — universal segmentation. Use case: a) zero-shot segmentation (segment anything без training), b) interactive annotation tool (point / box prompt → mask), c) data labeling acceleration (SAM-assisted annotation 10× faster). Combine с YOLO / Detectron2: detector → SAM для precise masks. 6) Classical detection (HOG + cascade classifiers — OpenCV) — only для very simple cases, edge devices без GPU, low-power microcontrollers (still relevant для embedded scenarios). Default 2026 рекомендации: Production deployment + commercial → Ultralytics YOLO (если ok с AGPL or commercial license) OR Detectron2 (Apache 2.0 alternative). Research / paper reproduction → MMDetection. Highest accuracy / complex scenes → RT-DETR или Co-DETR. Universal / zero-shot segmentation → SAM 2. Annotation acceleration → SAM + interactive workflows (CVAT integration). Edge / mobile → YOLO с TensorRT (NVIDIA) / CoreML (Apple) / TFLite (Android). Senior CV Engineer должен знать когда какой инструмент.
