Image Recognition

AI that identifies what appears in an image, such as objects, scenes, or faces.

Definition

Image recognition is AI that identifies what appears in a picture — objects, scenes, text, or faces — and labels it. It underlies photo search, medical imaging, quality inspection, and content moderation. It is a core part of computer vision and is usually built on neural networks trained on large sets of labeled images.
