A company is developing an Azure-based solution to automatically detect and redact personally identifiable information (PII) from images uploaded by users. The solution needs to identify text containing names, addresses, and phone numbers within various image formats. Which Azure Cognitive Service should the company primarily use for this task?
- AAzure Video Indexer
- BAzure Custom Vision
- CAzure Computer Vision
- DAzure Face API
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Azure Computer Vision
Azure Computer Vision offers optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities to extract text from images, which is essential for identifying PII. It also includes features for detecting specific entities like people, places, and organizations within the extracted text.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Video Indexer is for extracting insights from video and audio files, not static images.
- B. Custom Vision is for training custom image classification and object detection models, not general OCR or PII detection.
- D. Face API is specifically for face detection, recognition, and analysis, not general text or PII extraction from images.
