Image Recognition

Also known as: Image Classification, Computer Vision Recognition

The use of computer vision algorithms to identify and classify objects, text, faces, scenes, and other visual content in images or video. In accessibility applications, image recognition enables tools that describe visual content to blind and low vision users, such as smartphone apps that identify products, read text, or describe scenes. In museums, image recognition can be used to automatically provide information about exhibits when visitors point their camera at them, though accuracy and contextual relevance remain challenges.
