When we look at an image, we recognize the object of interest within seconds. This is not truly the case of machines. Object Recognition is thus a computer vision problem that involves locating instances of objects in an image.
The good news is that with this Object Detection API is now easier than ever. Today’s approaches concentrate on the end-to-end pipeline, which has significantly improved performance and aided in the development of real-time use cases.
How valuable would it be to be able to see what is in each image? You can easily abstract what objects appear in your uploaded images using our image auto-tagging service. People, animals, transportation, and a wide variety of other categories are available to you.
Knowing which objects are in your photos isn’t always enough; you also need to know where they are. Our Object Detection API detects and locates every common object in photos using cutting-edge neural networks.
Using this Object Detection API you would then be able to identify not only what object is in the given image, but also where each of them is. Imagine the endless opportunities that this tool would give you.
Can i use this Object Detection API get the positions of the objects?
Yes you can do it because video monitoring it is even one of its main functions or one of its most popular uses.
Modern object detection techniques are naturally suited to automated video surveillance systems because they can accurately identify and track multiple instances of a given object in a scene.
This Object Detection API, for example, can track multiple people in real-time as they move through a scene or across video frames. This type of granular tracking could provide invaluable insights into security, worker performance and safety, retail foot traffic, and more, from retail stores to industrial factory floors.
Imagine how useful it would be for a state to be able to track a stolen vehicle or chase some fugitives throughout the width and length of the city without the need to put a fleet of officers at risk, but rather using the security camera system.
Or think of an even smaller space, such as a shopping center where they have realized that a thief took products hidden in their clothes. With the sole use of the monitoring camera system, it could track or even map the thief’s route in a matter of seconds, achieving the possible apprehension of this subject.
It doesn’t matter if the criminal act happened a few minutes ago because when checking the cameras the subject is identified and the rest are images that were being taken all over the mall anyway.
Can i try this API without charge?
Of course you can, because this Object Detection API has a non-charge trial version of up to 100 requests. After this we are sure that you will go for one of their various plans. The latest and most powerful of these plans include a maximum of 500,000 requests per month.
