Imagine you have a big place like a shopping mall and I have a 360 degree picture of several places inside and outside of it. Is it possible through Cognitive Services/Computer Vision to compare if a photo taken by users of my app is related to any of these 360 degree pictures so I can add a description saying what is in the photo?
Microsoft Cognitive Services - Computer Vision currently does not offer this type of functionality. Training or customization is not yet supported. This is a highly requested feature and under review.

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/

I am working on a GSM based tracking device . i have successfully able to plot the approximate location on google maps using Gmap.net library for windows application and google maps api for android application.I want to mainly do the tracking of the Rail coach .with my current device i gets the approximate location near the railway track.I want to shift that Location /Maker on the near by Rail track.i need help and suggestions on how to achieve this task.please help.
Afaik the gmap.net library does not provide any feature around pinning tracking data, so I guess some manual work might be necessary.
The naive approach is to map your track on your own, google maps etc. is fine. I fact I've used gmap.net once itself to create exactly that.
Then all you need to do is some math (useful key word here is 'shortest path'), to locate the closest matching tracking point and use interpolation to distinguish your anticipated position on the track. You can also add some plausibility checks to speed up the whole process such as "knowing" where on your track you've already been.
I've got experience in real-time tracking for TV events and can go in deeper detail if you want.
Bing returns banner information including an image and birth date at the top of the search results when you enter a search such as 'Lady Gaga birth date'.
I would like to access this information using Microsoft Cognitive Services for an app using celebrity ages.
When I examine the httpResponseMessage return from the cognitive services call I can't find the image or birth date that appear on the top of the search results page in the body of the return.
Can you point me in the right direction to get this information from a cognitive services call. Similarly, I'd like to be able to access the summary information that appears on the top right of the search results. Any links to advanced documentation or samples on using the cognitive services Bing web search API would also be appreciated.
Thank you for you help.
Those blocks are all custom. It's less about cognitive services and more about tapping into data, translating and creating a presentation.
If you go to the Bing Web Search API site. There select "seattle seahawks" with Response Filter images. You can see that there is some text(name) and a contentUrl. You could write a parser for this to process into the pages.
Although the more logical choice would be actually calling the Bing website or Wikipedia directly. And parsing that result. As you already know it contains the information you want.
Is it eligible to apply real-time insta-like filters on Google Street View imagery retrieved via the google street view API that will be published online as a part of a slideshow in a web app?
No Google street view Content will be cached on a third party server in the process.
Do you think this would be in alignment with google's terms?
Streetview seems to be under the Google Maps umbrella as far as the api TOS goes. The document isn't that long, but your use case doesn't seem to be in direct violation. I would still be wary of something such as Section 8.3 (a):
Content (including but not limited to map data, traffic, directions,
and places) is provided for planning purposes only. You may find that weather conditions, construction projects, closures, or other events may cause road conditions or directions to differ from the results depicted in the Content. You should exercise judgment in your use of the Content.
Although that seems more like a caveat emptor warning admonishing them of liability if their data is inaccurate and tells you to turn left off of a cliff. I insist that you should really read the actual terms. There are a lot of little things that they seem to be worried about in there and I would definitely recommend having an attorney help you navigate what's going on in there.
I'd hazard to say you'd be fine especially with no caching, but you should really consult with an attorney and read the terms.
Given the following:
Coordinates of a certain place
Radius in meters
A business category, aka "supported place type" (like "art_gallery")
I can get details of all (limited by 20) art galleries in that given area, by calling:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=51.4918296,-0.1926405&radius=1000&types=art_gallery&sensor=false&key=MY_KEY
Since the use of this API is limited to 20 results (lately paging is possible, but it's slow and limited as well), questions like "What's the number of restaurants in a two mile radius?" are not practical.
Note: I don't need the details of the businesses - just the total number.
Is there an alternative to the API mentioned? using Google API or others?
As I get no answers (perhaps because there isn't an answer other than "No"), here is an alternative question:
Is there an API that can supply a static map image, showing all businesses of a certain type in a certain area? i.e. for "Interior Design shops in Hampstead, London" show me:
I know there's Google Static Maps API, but I couldn't find any integration with Google Places API.
Couldn't you use Google Maps Image APIs for part of your question?
IE:
<img src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=-15.800513,-47.91378&zoom=11&size=400x150&sensor=false&types=art_gallery">
