Analyzing Images with Google’s Cloud Vision API

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Shows that Google Cloud Vision API (alpha) actually returns concrete JSON: label detection, face detection, text OCR and more, with bounding boxes, landmark lat/long, per-item confidence scores (example label 0.92) and emotion likelihoods (demo: nine faces, ~90% joy). Demonstrates sending base64 images from an iOS Swift app, parsing the results and writing label and landmark keys into Firebase; live demo runs fast and returns recognizable results (including obscure landmarks and theme‑park identification). API access requires signup.
