Building an Image Recognition Service
1 like62 views
This document discusses how to leverage IBM Watson for building an image recognition service. It describes using Watson's visual recognition capabilities to build a platform that can automatically analyze and identify objects and scenes in images. The platform would allow customers to upload images for analysis, create custom classifiers to train the model, and get predictions on new images. It also provides examples of how visual recognition could be used across different industries for applications like product search, security monitoring, and social media analysis.

- 4. BACKGROUND
- 5. THE PROBLEM We live in a visual world, yet capturing useful information from images has historically required human vision — which can be slow and costly.
- 6. THE QUESTION But if we could extract that useful information through computer vision, it could provide invaluable insight for our businesses.
- 7. THE SOLUTION An intelligent visual recognition service that automatically analyzes and identifies objects and scenes in image files (video, etc.).

- 26. ENDLESS USES Manufacturing ● Ensure products are positioned correctly on an assembly line Visual auditing ● Monitor for compliance or deterioration in fleet of trucks, planes, or windmills ● Train classifiers to understand what defects look like Insurance ● Rapidly process claims by classifying images of claims Social listening ● Track buzz about your company on social media Security ● Monitor for activity, instantly classify objects as threat or not Social commerce ● Use an image of a food dish to find out which restaurant serves it and find reviews ● Use a travel photo to find vacation suggestions based on similar experiences ● Use a house image to find similar homes that are for sale Retail ● Take a photo of a favorite outfit to find stores with those clothes in stock or on sale ● Use a travel image to find retail suggestions in that area Education ● Create image-based applications to educate about taxonomies ● Use pictures to find educational material on similar subjects
