Google image recognition API

Google has released the cloud Vision API (Application interface) of the public beta. will help third party developers integrate image recognition and classification functions in their applications.

Google's technology can perform basic functions, such as extracting text from images. The real strength is in identifying the objects in the picture. This uses the same technology as Google Photos's image search function. And Google Photos can identify flowers, food, animals, and local landmarks and other objects. Google says the algorithm has been trained to identify "thousands of" different objects

Through the Vision API, Google will compete with projects such as Microsoft Project Oxford. Project Oxford provides APIs for computer vision, face recognition, and emotional analysis.
