Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)Describe features of computer vision workloads on AzureMedium
A developer is creating a mobile application that allows users to quickly identify famous landmarks by simply pointing their phone camera at them. The application needs to return relevant information about the detected landmark. Which Azure AI service provides pre-trained models capable of recognizing a broad range of common objects and landmarks?
- AAzure Computer Vision - Image Analysis (Analyze Image)
- BAzure Form Recognizer
- CAzure Custom Vision
- DAzure Face API
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Azure Computer Vision - Image Analysis (Analyze Image)
Azure Computer Vision's Image Analysis (specifically the 'Analyze Image' operation) includes capabilities for recognizing a broad range of common objects, celebrities, and landmarks using pre-trained models, making it suitable for this general landmark identification task.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Azure Form Recognizer is for extracting structured data from documents, which is unrelated to landmark identification.
- C. Azure Custom Vision is for training *custom* models for *specific* objects, not for recognizing a 'broad range of common objects and landmarks' out-of-the-box.
- D. Azure Face API is for human face detection and analysis, not for landmark recognition.
Azure Computer Vision (Image Analysis)
A part of Azure Cognitive Services that provides pre-trained models for analyzing image content, including object detection, landmark recognition, and generating descriptions.
- Offers a wide range of general-purpose computer vision capabilities.
- Uses pre-trained models, requiring no custom training data for common tasks.
- Can identify landmarks, objects, celebrities, and generate image captions.
Memory trick: Computer Vision sees the world generally.
