Image classification

Answer

Semantic segmentation

Answer

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Question 2

A construction company uses drone images to survey construction sites. They need an automated system that can identify specific types of heavy equipment (e.g., bulldozers, cranes, excavators) in an image and also draw precise pixel-level outlines around each equipment type. Which Azure Computer Vision capability should they use?

Accepted Answer

Semantic segmentation. Semantic segmentation is the correct capability because it assigns a class label (e.g., bulldozer, crane, excavator) to every pixel in the image, producing precise pixel-level outlines around each equipment type. Object detection only provides bounding boxes, not pixel-level masks, while image classification labels the entire image without localization. OCR is irrelevant as it extracts text, not equipment shapes.

Question 9

A logistics company uses drone imagery to monitor a busy container yard. They need to count the exact number of individual shipping containers, even when containers are partially stacked on top of each other or overlapping in the image. Which Azure Computer Vision capability should they choose to achieve the most accurate individual object separation?

Accepted Answer

Instance segmentation. Instance segmentation is the correct choice because it not only detects each individual object in an image but also generates a pixel-level mask for each instance, allowing the model to distinguish between overlapping or stacked objects like shipping containers. This capability provides the most accurate separation of individual containers, even when they partially occlude each other, by assigning unique masks to each instance rather than grouping all containers into a single class.

Question 10

A retail company uses ceiling-mounted cameras to monitor shelf stock. They want an automated system that analyzes each camera image to detect if any product is missing from its expected location on the shelf (a product gap). Which Azure Computer Vision capability should they use?

Accepted Answer

Object detection. Object detection is the correct choice because it can identify and locate multiple objects (e.g., product boxes) within an image and determine if expected items are missing from their designated positions on the shelf. Unlike image classification, which assigns a single label to the entire image, object detection provides bounding boxes and class labels for each detected object, enabling precise gap analysis.
