Sometimes the Web Detection API is not able to detect multiple objects in an image, hence I'm considering using Object Localiser. But Object Localiser essentially returns the bounding box co-ordinates (as shown in the documentation example). So how can I take the results from Object Localiser and send to Web Detection API so that I can get a list of individual web entities/products?
It's basically similar to the use case 'Vision Product Search' mentioned on the Cloud Vision landing page except would want to reference products indexed by Google instead of our own products.

I need to build an image classification model in Azure ML- which initially takes an input from Phone (A check in app which takes information like ID and also we will capture the image of the person- Here ID is used to tag the image) which will be redirected to data storage. once it's done, we will upload the n number of images of person to the data storage, it should able to classify the image based on facial recognition and should categorize as separate image folder for different person( Just like Google Photos). In short, If there's a 100 unique people come for check in and during the event if we click random images of these 100 unique persons, when we load this data to blob - it should categorize the persons separately.
Can I go with approach-
1.Check in app-- Loads image with tag
2.Blob- store the image
3. custom vison- ML classifier
4.Loding n number of images to blob
5. comparing the image with check in app loaded image and categorizing as album just like google photos
6. Loading albums to app to make attendees to see the images
Please guide me with the solution and services need to be considered to make this possible in azure
Thanks in adavance
Within Azure you need to look into Cognitive Services, with more information located here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/
Azure Cognitive Services is substantially surfaced as a series of API endpoints. In your example, you can post images from the mobile device to the Azure endpoint, where you can train the services to recognize individuals and have it return a JSON package of the people in the picture, or have it place rectangles around those people in a picture, etc. Other Cognitive Services include those related to images, speech, video, etc.
The Face API maps to your scenario well: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/face/

As the title says, my app takes parameters from the user and displays relevant locations around them. But from what I understand, the Google Maps API terms prohibit you from doing this. Can this use be termed as a listing service, where I'm simply displaying the data I got from Google. I'm also providing all relevant attributions.
We want to make an app where we need to integrate google map. Though we have visited the google web page for knowing the pricing. We want to know If we integrate as it "Standard User" and want to have below feature
As per our understanding - google charges whenever the map is loaded or API is used by the user. Anything above the daily quota of map load has to be paid.
In Zoom feature - will Zoom in and zoom out is treated as two calls.
Similarly, pan feature - will it be treated as map load
Draw circle to create an area on the map to find specific info which is already fed by the user based on the location. Will it also be treated as a call or map load?
In case if user to find location with typing - will the number of characters typed and its search result will be treated as API call for which we have to pay in the case of the above daily quota
I don't know about the last two but the first two are covered in the FAQ for Google Map APIs
After a web page or application loads a map, a static map image, or a Street View panorama, any user interactions with it, such as panning, zooming, or switching map layers, do not generate additional map loads or affect usage limits.
I am building an Events site in which the address of a given event will be stored to be used within a map on the page. Whilst viewing an Individual Events' page i would like to provide a list of similar events on side of the page. I would also like to rank this list by distance and display a small map with a marker on it for each item on the list.
I was thinking of Geocoding the Events address upon content input and then storing this data within the sites database. Doing this would allow me to calculate the distance of an event on the server and then provide an ordered list to display.
My question is this:
Would this violate the Googlemaps Terms of Service?
These terms:
"the geocoder for any purpose other than obtaining locations that will be displayed using the Google Maps APIs is a violation of the Terms of Service. You may use the HTTP geocoder to geocode addresses outside of your Google Maps API application so that they may be cached and later displayed using one of the Google Maps APIs, but locations obtained using the Geocoding Web Service may not be used by any other application, distributed by other means, or resold."
Suggest that storing the data is not a problem but i am unsure that the process of ordering the list by long lat would not result in a violation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As long as the map your refer to in your question is a Google Map and you are using the geocoded data to display features on a Google Map, you are fine. The client-side google.maps.Geocoderdev-guide is intended for dynamic requests that are based on real-time user interaction that drives a need to perform on-the-fly geocoding. But Google encourages you to consider using the Geocoding Web Servicedev-guide on the server-side, when you wish to pre-geocode static addresses or coordinates prior to using the response values on a Google Map. Storing those values is assumed.
It is common to perform some form of post-response/post-storage processing on those values, just like the ordering by distance that you describe, to fit whatever use case is needed to populate your map with the appropriate data. I understand you want to be careful to remain within the TOS, but what you describe sounds pretty standard.
I have a site that associates Google Place information with users, and displays that information on a map. For instance, a user can search for a place (currently with the Places Library Autocomplete API) and bookmark this place for later retrieval.
As per the Google Maps TOS, I am only storing the Place ID and its reference in my database and am making client-side requests for the coordinate information of each place whenever I need to display them on a map.
I've recently encountered an issue where making more than 10 consecutive API requests for coordinate information (within a javascript loop) using the getDetails method on the service object returns an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT status code.
My question is this: if I am correct in assuming that storing the latitude and longitude of each place in my database violates Google's TOS, how can I programmatically retrieve the coordinate information for a number of places so that I can display these places on a map for a given user?
According to the terms - 10.1.3(b) -
(b) No Pre-Fetching, Caching, or Storage of Content. You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so temporarily, securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of the Service; and (ii) any content identifier or key that the Maps APIs Documentation specifically permits you to store. For example, you must not use the Content to create an independent database of "places" or other local listings information.
So if there are places getting queried a lot, you can temporarily store information on that place to increase performance.
