In sintesi

Vision API is a managed image analysis service. Upload images, get back structured data (detected objects, labels, text via OCR, faces, landmarks). Mastery takes 1-2 weeks. Salary premium minimal (5-10%) because API calls are simple. Value is in designing systems that use vision (content moderation, accessibility, document processing).

Cos'è GCP Vision API

Cloud Vision API is a pre-trained computer vision service. Upload an image, get back structured analysis: detected objects (with confidence), text (via OCR), faces, landmarks, logos, and sentiment. Built on Google's years of research and deployed at massive scale. Use cases: content moderation (detect adult content), accessibility (generate alt text for images), document processing (extract text from receipts), product detection (identify products in photos).

❓ Domande frequenti

What features does Vision API provide?
Object detection (detect 'dog', 'car'), label detection (categorize scene), OCR (text recognition), face detection, landmark detection, logo detection, Web detection (find similar images online). Use the features you need; you're billed per feature.
How accurate is the API?
Varies by feature and data. Object detection ~90-95% for common objects. OCR ~98% for clear text. Face detection nearly perfect. Test on your specific use case before deploying.
What's the cost?
Pay per request. Label detection = $0.06/image, OCR = $1.50 per 1000 images. Batch processing cheaper than individual requests. Example: process 1M images = ~$6-100 depending on features.
Can I use Vision API for video analysis?
No, Vision API is for images only. For video, use Video Intelligence API (analyze video frames, detect objects/text in videos).
How do I use Vision API in an application?
Call the API from Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, or anywhere. Upload image to Cloud Storage, pass URL to Vision API, get JSON response. Integrate results into your application.
Can I build custom models?
Vision API has pre-trained models (general objects, faces). For custom models (specific product detection), use Vertex AI to train a custom model.
