Identify features of object detection solutions
The CV capabilities of Azure Machine Learning can be used as a solution for object detection.
In the previous section, you learned that image classification provides us with categorization and can tell us of singular, binary information (that is, this is a person, a car, a dog or cat, and so on in the image), whereas object detection provides individual location information (in pixels) for objects in the image through a “bounding box” surrounding each identified object, as well as assigning tag
information with a confidence rating.
While both classification and detection of images share a common objective of analyzing and interpreting image content, the difference is in the amount of detail returned; in addition to the categorization and caption labels that describe the image provided by the classification, the tag information has a percentage value on the confidence of what is the object detected.
