What it does
This is the engine underneath Bixby Vision, Samsung's camera-based recognition feature. The Camera, Gallery and Samsung Browser apps call it when you open a Bixby Vision lens to translate a sign, pull text from a photo, identify an object or use the accessibility lenses that describe a scene. It has no screen of its own and only runs when one of those apps asks for it. Samsung preinstalls it on most Galaxy phones and tablets.
If you disable it
Bixby Vision lenses stop opening in Camera, Gallery and Samsung Browser, including the scene describer and text reader lenses some people rely on for low vision.
