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

I want to go for masters admissions (and a PhD at some point too). The problem is I am not sure where exactly my research interests lie. As of now, I 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?
