Lab description

Google Vision AI allows you to derive insights from images uploaded into Google Cloud. The Google Cloud Vision API provides pre-trained machine learning models that can provide contextual data on those images. The models have been trained on a large number of images in order to recognize faces, geographic locations, and even explicit content such as violence.

The Google Cloud Vision API How-to Guides page contains a full list of detection features provided by the API. These powerful API calls can be utilized within a Google Cloud Function in order to integrate vision detection into your applications.

In this lab, you will develop two Google Cloud functions that detect popular landmarks and logos within a provided image.
