Using the Vision API

The Google Vision API is an advanced application API to perform image analysis. The salient features are:

  • Safe search: Content moderation of an image
  • Label detection: Reads the image and detects objects, events, locations, products and so on
  • Face detection: Detects faces and facial features
  •  Landmark detection: Detects natural and man-made landmarks
  • OCR: Detects text within an image
  • Logo detection: Detects popular products and corporate logos
  •  Web entities: Detects the contents of the image and returns its information as related to the Google Knowledge Graph

We'll try a simple example of using the Vision API for uploading images to a photo field of a signup form.
