Amazon Rekognition vs. IBM Watson Visual Recognition (discontinued)

It is very well suited for image processing and recognition based applications and can be easily used using API calls without actually. writing any code for image processing. It can be used with any professional software development as it is built with so much precision. I would not suggest it for a sole feature-based application like image tagging only because for that you can create your own algorithm specific to a domain you want.

As I mentioned before, it can only be employed in simple basic visual recognition applications. It can be employed in large projects and relying it on completely is not encouraged. It's better to create your own algorithms rather than using it. If you are from a non-programming background, then I may suggest you rely on this and use it to develop simple apps that can predict a few plants and animals.

• Image tagging is very good.
• Object detection is precise.
• Video tagging has become very easy using Rekognition.

Incentivized

• Easy to use interface, you can just drag and drop the images in the negative and positive dropboxes to train.
• It's affordable and there is a free version to test for yourself and check if it's useful for you.
• Easy to integrate with apps using one single API key and you can train easily with your terminal.

• The cost is bit more for small scale companies.
• For text processing, OCR is not available in amazon rekognition.
• Only facial search is available in image search.

• Documentation sometimes not complete

Very much suitable for many applications where the image processing features are secondary and independent of any domain. This makes it a general solution and the recognition features are returned in a JSON object in response to the API called made which is a very simple process.

I am giving this rating on the basis of its usability in real-time applications and based on the interface to upload negative and positive images to train the AI. But it's not perfect and sometimes its predictions are wrong. On overall usability, it's better if you are planning on working with UI rather than using complex programs and algorithms on your own.

Support of Amazon is great. So far we are having a great experience using it.

Accuracy and usability of amazon Rekognition are great. It provides many functionalities its competitors do not. Also, the Amazon service is great in general.

• The best thing it made our work fast.
• It reduces the chance of failure of a project which is based on image or video processing.
• We can assign anyone in our team to work on this as it very easy to use.

• High cost if models are trained
