How do the admission committeecommittees look at an applicantsapplicant's profile if he has not yet figured out his area of research?

I want to go for masters admissions  (and a Ph.D.PhD at some point too). The problem is I am not sure where exactly my research interests lie. As of now, I'veI have almost equal research experience and publications in distributed systems and computer vision and I'm equally interested in both.

In my personal statement, I can't quite figure out if I should stick with one of them or simply state that my domain will be one of these two.

  • How well will the committee see this issue if I mention both?
  • Will it be fine if I stick to distributed systems and yet mention that I have research interests in computer vision too?

Thanks in advance
