With the increasing use of platforms that favor visual content, the study and analysis of images has also become critical to improving many business processes.

Google Cloud with the use of artificial intelligence also offers a powerful solution to challenges of this kind through Vision AI.

The technology used not only simplifies image recognition and analysis, but also opens up a wide range of opportunities toimprove business processes, provide personalized user experiences, and more.

In this article, we will explore Google Cloud's Vision AI, with a focus on how different companies can take advantage of this cutting-edge technology.

 

What is Google Cloud Vision AI 

Google Cloud's Vision AI is an artificial intelligence service that can extract information from images and videos or analyze them for meaning attributions. This powerful technology is able torecognize objects, text, faces, logos, scenes and more, making visual information more accessible and understandable. 

It is based on highly advanced machine learning models and is designed to be easily integrated into existing applications and systems.

Image reading and analysis finds application in a wide variety of areas and offers numerous benefits to businesses such as: 

    • time-saving 
    • elimination of repetitive activities
    • process speedup
    • precision: uses pre-trained machine learning models that have been thoroughly trained on a huge image dataset.
    • scalability: can be used to analyze numerous large images.
    • ease of use: it is simple to use and once integrated into the system the results are immediate
 

Visual intelligence, how it works

Technology related to visual intelligence offers the ability to classify images into a vast number of predefined categories, assigning labels to different components, including animals, people, places, and objects. This mechanism makes it possible to configure AI to recognize and identify specific objects within the business environment, customizing the system to suit the objectives.

Once an image is captured, be it a photo or video, it undergoes a process of processing and enhancement to optimize readability and prepare it for later analysis. Through the power of machine learning, all the elements in the image are accurately categorized, distinguishing faces from object entities and text, whether printed or handwritten.

Vision AI can identify whether the scene portrayed takes place inside or outside a building, as well as determine the activities of the people depicted in the image.

On completion of processing, the results are returned in the form of a detailed list of the detections made, ready to be used directly.This highly flexible tool can be adapted to the specific needs of each business sector, allowing for precise customization of detection features and notifications.

 

Some areas for which Vision AI is already a revolution

The technology offered by Vision AI is suitable for so many scenarios, here are some of the main areas in which it can be used:

    • Retail, to optimize inventory management. Images of racking can be analyzed to keep track of products in stock and to predict when new orders will need to be placed. In addition, Vision AI can help improve the customer experience through the analysis of images captured by security cameras, allowing customer flow to be monitored and store layout to be optimized.
    • Health, to analyze medical images, such as X-rays and scans. This enables faster and more accurate diagnosis as well as better management of patient records. In addition, face-recognition technology can be used to control access to health care facilities, improving patient and staff safety.
    • Industrial automation, to monitor the quality of the production process. Images of production lines can be analyzed for defects or anomalies, enabling timely intervention and reduction of waste. This leads to increased production efficiency and reduced operating costs.
    • E-commerce, to detect products in an image. This could be useful for improving the user experience and making it easier to purchase products.
    • Security, to detect suspicious activity in a video. This could be useful for preventing crime or improving security within companies by sending an automatic signal whenever an anomaly is detected or a person that the system identifies as unknown.
